O Master, Lord our God, Who in Thy wisdom hast created man, and didst honor him with Thy Divine image, and place in him the spirit of life, and lead him into this world, bestowing on him the hope of resurrection and life everlasting; and after he had violated Thy commandments, Thou O Gracious lover of mankind, didst descend to the earth that Thou mightest renew again the creation of Thy hands.
Therefore we pray Thee, O All-Holy Master give rest to the souls of Thy servants, whose names are not known to us, in a place of brightness, a place of green pasture, a place of repose, and, in that they have sinned in word, or deed or thought forgive them:
For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind and unto Thee do we ascribe Glory, together with Thy Father, Who is from everlasting and Thine All-Holy and good, and ever giving Spirit, now, and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayers for all of the victims who died, that the Lord lead them to a place where there is neither pain nor suffering, neither weeping nor sighing, but only life everlasting. Prayers, too, for the injured, that their recovery, physical and emotional, be swift.
Remmeber too, Lord, all of the families involved and the rescue workers who will forever bear the emotional scars that always come with the memories of seeing suffering and dead children and the feeling of not having been able to do enough to save them.
