A prayer in times of violence


Remembering El Paso, Dayton, Gilroy, Brooklyn,  Chicago, Wisconsin...

From The Corrymeela Community of N Ireland:

God of all humanity
in times of violence
we see how inhuman we can be.
We pray for those who, today,
are weighed down by grief.
We pray for those who, yesterday,
were weighed down by grief.
And the day before,
and all the days before the day before.
We pray, too, for those who help us turn towards
justice and peace.
Turn us all towards justice and peace
because we need it.
Amen.
