Prayer for Peace with Our Lady of Sorrows
Yesterday’s violence brought painful memories of all that has happened recently.
All of us ask you to join us in prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows, asking for peace and healing in our nation.
Dear Sorrowful Mother,
We pray for the families of Charlie Kirk, Brian Thompson, Iryna Zarutska, and Silas Wallace.
And for all the school children, teachers, and families grieving the loss of loved ones.
Our Lady of Sorrows,
our hearts are broken by the shootings and acts of violence in our country.
Heal our nation wounded by violence, dear Mother,
and help us turn away from it.
Remind us that opinions are valid and should be respected,
but violence is never the answer.
Be with us, comfort us,
and lead us to your Son,
who alone can heal our brokenness.
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
Amen.
