From New Hampshire-New Hampshire religious leaders this week urge their congregations to remember God's peace, healing and justice are profoundly more powerful than any terrorist bombs as they prayed for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and their families.
"People have been talking about how easy it is for one act of evil to do so much harm, and is there anything we can do to fight it," said Rabbi Jonathan Spira-Savett of Temple Beth Abraham, a conservative congregation in Nashua.
"We have to believe that the power of our goodness is stronger than even that and . not become so distracted or demoralized that we would lose an opportunity to show goodness or love," Spira-Savett said Wednesday.
Citing Psalms 3, the Rev. Dr. Paul R. Berube of Grace Fellowship Church in Nashua reminded his congregation "to not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me."
Rather, Berube encouraged his congregation during a special prayer meeting Tuesday night to turn to God as their shield against violence and fear.
