God of all, we grieve the lives loss yesterday at Annunciation School in Minneapolis, especially the two children murdered during mass, and pray for the healing of those who were injured. Only by your grace will we discover the sense of common purpose whereby guns are harder to obtain, schools safer, and troubled souls less apt to slip into the shadows of obsession and act on their worse impulses. You love us all beyond measure and give us each the capacity to shed our funeral cloak and put on the raiment of light by doing something today to make our world safer, by advocating with our elected representatives for change, learning more about Bishops United Against Gun Violence, or reaching out to a lonely friend. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
