This is an interesting prayer request, Sister. I have been considering this event, which apparently some people consider "unfortunate", in the context of Romans 13:1-2.
Now God tells us to obey the government. But whose government? I would assume one's own - otherwise soldiers would be obliged to observe an enemy country's laws in times of war. It seems that at least one of the shooters was from Australia. Does Austrian law have anything to say about shooting people in New Zealand? I suspect not - why would they even care? Also, he had a gun licence so he was okay with the New Zealand government.

I have no idea what cats (vile, demonic creatures!) have to do with it but, in the unlikely event that these so-called "victims" did repent, I am absolutely confident that God knows and will deal with them according to His Holy Will. I already feel perfectly good about myself, so you will forgive me if I don't join you in prayer on this occasion?
