A Prayer for Highland Park, Illinois

Mary Immaculate, ora pro nobis
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the horrific mass shooting at the Fourth of July Parade in Highland Park, Illinois and their families. May St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, St. Joseph and Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception 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.
