Reflections for Police Officer Patrick Thomas McGovern

Lord Jesus, as we watch our nation’s brave law enforcement officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the law enforcement officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]

One of the best people I have had the honor to meet and work with. You were a great cop and would selflessly do anything for anyone. Miss you Paddy. RIP my friend.

Hey buddy. On this eve of the 20th anniversary of the attacks, I’m trying my hardest to remember the good times, and not focus on my anger at how things have changed so much since then…but I’m struggling. You will always be my hero. You were a great cop, and even better union rep. Until we can meet again, I’ll always hold you close to my heart. Sleep in peace, Paddy. Miss you.
