Lord if some dark and dreary night i must give my life, lord with your everlasting love portect those special in my life.

Another one of New York City's finest has died leaving the whole department and city in mourning. He did his job very well and knew how to do it. His son fills his shoes and his grandfather's shoes as well like his father did when he donned the uniform of the New York City Police Department. The largest police department in the whole wide world. He will not be forgotten at all. His name will appear as of next year on the walls in both Albany and in Washington.

I remember reading about Steve a few years after he was injured. Many years later I would have the honor and privelage of meeting this great person and his family while being a part of the Father Judge Walk of Remembrance. Steve was true inspiration to all who met and knew him. I will never forget being at mass with this great person of faith. God bless Steve, his family and all of the brave members of the NYPD.

A Prayer for Detective Steven McDonald:

Lord God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Detective Steven McDonald, of the New York City, New York Police Department, was taken from us in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the Cross. Heavenly Father, as we mourn the death of our Brother-in-Blue, Detective Steven McDonald, show us the immense power of your goodness and strengthen our belief that he has entered into Your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs." [Matthew 5:3-10 NLT]

"For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should." [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]

"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." [John 15:13 NLT]

"Well done, my good and faithful servant." [Matthew: 25:21 NLT]

I was both shocked and saddened to hear our profession had lost you. I recall the horror of your shooting and have thought thousands of times over the years how I might would have coped were I faced with your situation. You truly defined courage for me. I'm sure you have served as an inspiration to hundreds, if not thousands of your fellow officers who suffered grievous life altering wounds...as well as to those of us that have been spared the burdens you have carried. Thanks for your service and your fidelity to "keeping the faith". Rest in peace.
