A Prayer for Nashville, Tennessee

San Sebastiano, ora pro nobis

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the horrific mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Monday morning and their families. May San Giuseppe, San Sebastiano, and Santa Giovanna di Chantal 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.
