IN MEMORY OF AGENT GENIEL AMARO-FANTAUZZI

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Agent Geniel Amaro-Fantauzzi:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some three hundred and thirty-two agents have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the United States Territory of Puerto Rico. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Agent Geniel Amaro-Fantauzzi, of the Puerto Rico Police Department; who was shot in-the-line of duty while conducting a Narcotics Investigation with other agents on Tuesday, August 19, 2014, in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico. He succumbed to these wounds on Monday, August 25, 2014.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Agent Geniel Amaro-Fantauzzi. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Agent Geniel Amaro-Fantauzzi and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Puerto Rico, help them to faithfully equip their agents with the best tools to protect their territory. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Puerto Rico to remember to pay their agents fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Puerto Rico to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their territory.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Agent Geniel Amaro-Fantauzzi go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Amen.

Lord God, hear our prayers.

Now, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.
