Ever-living God, you see our grief and, at the right time, take things in hand. In faith we pray: God, come to our aid.  

Attune our eyes, minds, and hearts to ways in which we can encourage one another in faith, hope, and love.  

God, come to our aid.  

Help us to embrace the beauty of creation and to preserve it for future generations.  

God, come to our aid. 

Assist efforts to help communities recover from tragedy, prevent further violence, and thrive.  

God, come to our aid.  

Our Father . . .  

May God strengthen us to seek and pursue peace, through Jesus, the justice of God. Amen
