Eternal God,
in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us
and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments
we might not despair nor become despondent,
but with great confidence
submit ourselves to Your holy will,
which is Love and Mercy itself.
Hail, Holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn then Most Gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy upon us,
and after this our exile
show unto us
the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. AMEN

For these victims who were cruelly murdered when they sought You in your Sacred Word,
Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Finally, may your Healing Love console their families and friends and may all people work together for an end to hatred and violence. Amen.
