Prayer Candle
We are mourning the tragic and senseless loss of the young lives lost in Texas at the hands of a school shooter. Let us pray together:

+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Let us pray.
Loving and compassionate God,
we are heartbroken, angry and confused
at the violence which was unleashed today
on an elementary school in Texas.
We cannot fathom the hatred that spawns such destruction.
Receive into the arms of your mercy
those whose lives have been so tragically cut short,
their families, classmates and teachers.
Embrace them in your tender love,
and surround their loved ones with the care of many others.
Grant healing to those who have been injured.
Speak to us once again your message of peace,
and empower us to be builders of a world
where such hatred, violence and evil are no more.
May Jesus, our Risen Saviour,
make us messengers of life, and healing, and hope.
Praise to you, O God, who gently comfort those who grieve.
Amen.
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
