God of grace, we lament the violence.
For those who have no words…
those holding themselves, rocking with each wave of grief…
those planting both feet, seeking balance in crisis and chaos…
those who moan, weep and wail the names of their dead…
those sitting silently in front of their screens sickened by the shootings, by the innocent lives lost, by the hatred that fuels such violence…
We pray, O God.
We pray for...
