Community Prayer For Trump's Safety Before Second Butler Rally

In a somber gathering filled with prayers and reflection, residents of Butler, Pennsylvania, came together to pray for former President Donald Trump ahead of his scheduled return to the city for a rally. The prayer vigil aimed to seek divine protection for Trump and the community following a serious assassination attempt at his previous event.

A community prayer vigil was conducted in Butler, Pennsylvania, prompted by a tragic assassination attempt on Donald Trump during his earlier rally in the city, Breitbart reported.

The assassination attempt on Trump occurred on July 13, 2024, during his first rally in the city. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired from a nearby rooftop, wounding Trump and causing additional casualties among the attendees.

Former President Trump sustained a gunshot wound when a bullet struck the top of his right ear. Amidst the chaos, Corey Comperatore, who heroically attempted to shield his family from the gunfire, tragically lost his life.

Additionally, two other attendees, James Cophenhaver and David Dutch, sustained injuries during the unfortunate skirmish, deepening the trauma experienced by those at the rally.

Community Seeks Comfort And Safety In Prayer

In response to this violent event and anticipation of Trump's next rally, the community members emphasized the need for increased protection and safety through a prayer vigil. It was not just an act of solidarity but also a public demonstration of the community’s resilience and hope for peace.

During the vigil, attendees fervently recited the "Saint Michael, the Archangel Prayer," a piece specifically shared by Trump on Truth Social before the event. This prayer invoked spiritual defense against evil and dangers facing the community and the nation at large.

The collective recitation aimed to bind the community in a shared request for security and protection for everyone involved in the upcoming rally, especially for their former leader.

A Witness Recalls The Horror Of The Attack

Memories of the attack lingered among the attendees, as a witness from the first rally shared a harrowing recount of the events. "We were very close to the stage and I heard this pop, pop, pop, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’ you know,” the witness recounted. Initially mistaking the gunshots for firecrackers, the confusion and terror of the moment were palpable in her voice.

Each individual at the prayer vigil not only prayed for the former president's safety but also for all who would be gathering for the rally, underlining the pervasive sense of vulnerability felt by the community since the attack.

"We ask for the safety and protection of family, friends, neighbors, and community. We ask for protection for President Trump, for our country, for the staff, and for all who will come to gather here. These are dangerous times, but we trust you, and you alone," expressed a woman at the vigil, highlighting the gravity of the situation and the community's reliance on faith.

Continued Appeals For Divine Protection

The sentiment of heightened caution and the request for "continued and increased protection in the upcoming hours, days, and weeks" was a common refrain among those gathered. This request underscores the ongoing concern for security as the community prepares to welcome Trump once again.

An attendee’s plea during the vigil not only reflected the immediate desire for the rally’s security but also a more long-term wish for peace and safety in the area, shaken by violence and fear.

The community of Butler remains on edge as it braces for the former president's second rally. The prayer vigil represented a poignant moment of collective hope and determination to move forward, despite the shadow cast by past events.
