Our thoughts and prayers are with the three young girls stabbed to death and eight wounded, six critically (including two adults) at a dance school in Southport, England, Monday morning. According to reports a 17-year-old was arrested at the scene, but supposedly no motive for the horrific crime is yet known. Fed up with the two-tier policing, government betrayal, and violence in their community, local protesters clashed with police near the site of the stabbings. May St. George, St. Edward the Confessor, and St. Edmund the Martyr protect and watch over you.
St. Edward the Confessor, ora pro nobis
Prayer for Victims of Terrorism
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.
