Christ is in our midst!!

Let us pray for the children martyred in Minnepolis and for their parents. I can't imagine sending my child off to school only to learn he has been killed at church.

Lord,
Bless the innocents murdered in Minnepolis and take them to Yourself. Transfer them from the earthly liturgy to Your Eternal, Heavenly Liturgy. Extend Your Healing Hand and touch the lives of the parents who have lost their children in Minnepolis. Heal the wound they will carry with them now until they meet You at the end of their pilgrimage.

May I enhance the close of the prayer:

"Lord,
Bless the innocents murdered in Minnepolis and take them to Yourself. Transfer them from the earthly liturgy to Your Eternal, Heavenly Liturgy. Extend Your Healing Hand and touch the lives of the parents who have lost their children in Minnepolis. Heal the wound they will carry with them now until they meet You at the end of their pilgrimage for You are the Great Physician and Healer of our souls and bodies, and to You we send up glory and honor together with Your Unoriginate Father and the All-Holy and Life Giving Spirit now and ever and to the Ages of ages."
