A Prayer for Owo, Nigeria

St. Patrick, ora pro nobis
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the horrific terror attack on Pentecost Sunday at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. May St. Patrick, St. Francis of Assisi, and Blessed Cyprian Michael Iwene Tansi watch over you.

Prayer for the victims

Loving God, welcome into your arms the victims of violence and terrorism. Comfort their families and all who grieve for them. Help us in our fear and uncertainty, and bless us with the knowledge that we are secure in your love. Strengthen all those who work for peace, and may the peace the world cannot give reign in our hearts. Amen.
