Dear Friends in Christ: Please join me in prayer for all murder victims, including victims of recent mass shootings.

Prayer for the Victims of Violence

Loving God, You are the author and sustainer of our lives.
You know the anguish of the sorrowful; You are attentive
to the prayers of the brokenhearted. Hear Your people who
cry out to You in their need; strengthen their hope in Your
lasting goodness.

We pray for those who have died of violence in any form,
especially the recent victims of mass shootings . Draw
them to Yourself; let Your face shine upon them. May they
be greeted by choirs of angels and experience Your
eternal peace and joy.

Be near to all those who have been touched by violence:
those who have been hurt, lost their loved ones or lost
their sense of security. Be for them a steady comfort and
a safe resting place.

Soften the hearts and steady of the minds of those who
would do violence to others. May hate be replaced with
love, violence with peace, and darkness with Your light.

Amen.

– Adapted from a prayer by Catholic Health Association of the United States.
 
Praying for your intention

Philippians 4:6-7 : Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
 
Hail Mary
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus
Holy Mary
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death, Amen
 
For all whose lives have been taken by others…

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not, into temptation but deliver us from evil, Amen
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
