Prayer 2147: On the Sixth Anniversary of the Gun Massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary



Most Merciful God,
we thank You for your care of us as we have rested:
gather us within your hand and guide us, we pray.

For our hardness of heart against You
and each other,
we humbly ask your forgiveness and mercy.
Let us sing a new song,
a song of peace,
whose melody is rooted in the music
our Savior taught us
in all his ways.
Let us shine forth with the glory of our God,
proclaiming grace through our lives,
O Incarnation of Love Divine.
Let us put healing hands and hearts
toward the divisions that hurt us,
and vow to live and work for the cause of love.

Fill us with the power and beauty of the Holy Spirit,
O Creator God,
and shelter and bless those for whom we pray.

Amen.
