Please pray for those impacted by the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka; please pray for the repose and peace of the dead, for the injured to recover, for the traumatized to get healed and please pray that the Church there heals, stands strong and flourishes despite everything (them and other persecuted Christians especially the Catholic Church).
 
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among 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

.Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for those affected by the bombings.

O Jesus, You inspired Saint Faustina
with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy,
deign, if it be Your Holy Will, to grant me, through her intercession,
the grace for which I fervently pray:
Those affected by the bombings

My sins render me unworthy of Your Mercy,
but be mindful of Saint Faustina’s spirit of sacrifice and self-denial,
and reward her virtue by granting the petition which,
with childlike confidence,
I present to You through her intercession.
Amen
 
They were offered up at our Mass this morning. I pray that God will bring comfort to the families of the victims and I pray for conversion of those responsible for this tragedy. Mother Mary please pray for us.
 
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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (those impacted by the Easter Bombings), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Prayer for Peace and Protection​

From Violence and Terrorism

O almighty and merciful God, Lord of the universe
and of history. All that You have created is good
and Your compassion for the mistakes of humankind
knows no limits. We come to You today to ask You
to keep in peace the world and its people, to keep
far away from the devastating wave of terrorism,
to restore friendship and instill in the hearts of Your
creatures the gift of trust and of readiness to forgive.

O Giver of life, we pray to You also for all those who
have died as victims of brutal terrorist attacks. Grant
them their eternal reward. May they intercede for the
world that is torn apart by conflicts and disagreements.

O Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray to You for the ones
who have been wounded in these acts of inhuman
violence: children and young people, old people and
innocent people, accidentally involved in evil. Heal
their bodies and hearts; console them with Your
strength and, at the same time, take away any hatred
and a desire for revenge.

Holy Spirit Consoler, visit the families of the victims
of terrorism, families who suffer through no fault
of their own. Wrap them in the mantle of Your Divine
Mercy. Make them find again in You and in themselves
the strength and courage to continue to be brothers
and sisters for others, above all for immigrants, giving
witness to Your love by their lives.

Touch the hearts of terrorists so that they may
recognize the evil of their actions and may turn to the way
of peace and goodness, of respect for the life and
for the dignity of every human being, regardless of religion,
origin, wealth, or poverty.

O God, Eternal Father, in Your mercy hear our prayer which
we raise up to You amidst the deafening noise and
desperation of the world. We turn to You with great
hope, full of trust in Your infinite Mercy.

We entrust ourselves to the intercession of Your Most
Holy Mother. We ask for the gift of peace and
of the elimination from our midst of the sore of terrorism.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Adapted prayer of Holy Father, Pope Francis, offered
in the Basilica of St. Francis, Kraków, July 30, 2016.)
 
Lord have mercy on the souls of those who were murdered,
Please ensure the recovery of those injured,
of all those who are traumatized.

Please bless their families, and help them to go on with faith and healing.
