Marlborough Pastor: 'Violence Does Not Have the Last Word'

While two bomb explosions Monday shattered the joyful cheers of the Boston Marathon finish line, violence may be loud but it is not as powerful as peace, according to one local pastor.

“Violence does not have the last word even though it is very loud and very visible," said Pastor Kazimierz Bem who explained that God, peace, love and kindness will win out over violence.

Bem has given this advice to members of the First Church of Marlborough, where he is the pastor. In a letter to members and in his blog, he even urges people to pray for whoever orchestrated the bombing which .

“Every time this happens people are angry, surprised, sand and just devastated," said Bem who held a small prayer service on Monday night.

All those emotions are natural, he said, but not something to hold on to, especially anger caused by the incident.

“Vent it but then let it go," said Bem.

Something good will come of this tragedy, he said.

“Make no mistake: evil and violence are not the only forces at work. Maybe they made the loudest noise, but they will not have the last word," Bem said he told parishioners who had gathered at the prayer service. "God is working to redeem this and bring something out of this horrific accident."
