We are saddened by today’s tragic events at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon are holding a special prayer for the victims, families, teachers and parishioners of Annunciation Catholic Church and School during their evening prayer service tonight.
The entire Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon campus community is praying for the Catholic Church of the Annunciation and School — especially for the victims of this tragedy and the grieving families and friends who are left behind.
We ask you to join us in prayer for everyone affected by this tragedy.
Loving God,
Gather to Your heart the victims of violence and hate.
In the wake of unexplainable suffering, walk with us.
Comfort those who lost loved ones unexpectedly and needlessly. Renew their hearts with Your grace. Wash them with Your tears. Breathe Your life into their spirits.
Guide us through our fears and anxious moments. Bless us with the knowledge of Your presence always.
Raise up among us those who will work tirelessly for unity and reconciliation. May we all become agents of Your peace.
Amen.
