From AP:\u00a0In the vaulted church of\u00a0a Catholic school in Minneapolis<\/a><\/span>, the pews were packed with teachers, parents and schoolchildren listening to a psalm on the third day of the new school year.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cFor you darkness itself is not dark, and night shines as the day,\u201d a church member read to some 200 students Wednesday morning as sun streamed through stained glass windows.<\/p>\n

Just before the congregants were to proclaim \u201cAlleluia,\u201d\u00a0bullets blasted through the windows<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Responsorial Psalm<\/h3>\n
Psalm 139:7-8, 9-10, 11-12ab<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

R. (1)\u00a0You have searched me and you know me, Lord.<\/strong>
\nWhere can I go from your spirit?
\nFrom your presence where can I flee?
\nIf I go up to the heavens, you are there;
\nif I sink to the nether world, you are present there.
\nR.\u00a0You have searched me and you know me, Lord.<\/strong>
\nIf I take the wings of the dawn,
\nif I settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
\nEven there your hand shall guide me,
\nand your right hand hold me fast.
\nR.\u00a0You have searched me and you know me, Lord.<\/strong>
\nIf I say, “Surely the darkness shall hide me,
\nand night shall be my light”\u2013
\nFor you darkness itself is not dark,
\nand night shines as the day.
\nR.\u00a0You have searched me and you know me, Lord.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
