Prayer after Recent Shootings

Spirit of Life and Love,

Shaken by sorrow

We wonder why

We wonder how

Humans can find it within themselves

To destroy life

That exists also within them.

Together we grieve the injustice

Of lives cut short by hate

Of survivors touched by terror

And we stand firm in life

Knowing that only love can ease our grief

Even as it is our love of one another

That causes us to grieve such loss

May we mourn as a community

That loves life.

For we know that life and love must continue

May it be so, Blessed Be
