Blessed Father, I pray
for the souls of our loved ones taken too soon. I pray that justice will be
served as you see fit. I pray that those mourning souls left behind to grieve
their loved ones be lifted up and carried by you through their pain. Give them
STRENGTH to face another day, HOPE that their loved one is comforted in eternal
Paradise and HEALING so that they will remember with love and joy in their
hearts and minds. Continue to hold our loved ones in your Grace, comfort them
and protect them. We know you gave your only begotten son so that he may suffer
for our sins and give everlasting life in Heaven. For this Jesus, we thank you!
Please bless every person who reads this and is touched, every person who
writes and is moved and every person whose life is affected by the taking of
one life by another. In your name I pray, AMEN!
