A Prayer for Waukesha, Wisconsin

Mary Immaculate, ora pro nobis

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the horrific November 21st car attack at the 58th Annual Christmas Parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Though we may never know the real motives for the slaughter, which as of this writing has left five people dead and over 40 injured, we pray justice is swiftly meted out to the animal responsible and to all those who had a hand in allowing this career criminal, and others like him, to be out on the streets preying on the innocent. May St. William, St. John Neumann. St. Joseph, and Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception protect and watch over Waukesha.

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.
