Prayer for the people of Connecticut

Master of the universe, send Your blessing to the people of Connecticut, to the grieving mothers and fathers, and to the traumatized children.

Please, oh Merciful God, have compassion on us!

Spread Your shelter of peace over the people of Connecticut and over all of us,

.Grant them healing and comfort

May they find strength and courage in the days ahead.

May our voices carry prayers of hope

That the people of Connecticut know that they are not alone.

We mourn the fallen, and our hearts are pained by the grief of the survivors.

Give them comfort and strengthen their endeavors to restore their lives. Heal their bodies and redeem their spirits. Grant wisdom and strength to all who provide help. Grant them light, guide their path, and protect them.

We pray for the day when the bloodshed will end and there will be Shalom!

And let us say ‘Amen’.
