Holy one, the violence this weekend was too much to bear, preying on the innocent at a temple of learning at Brown, on a beach in Australia as our siblings in faith celebrated the miracle of Hanukkah, and in a peaceful home in Los Angeles devoted to making us laugh and standing up for what is right. Gather in the souls of the nineteen who died, send your angels to attend those who are injured and shelter even the perpetrators under their wings, and comfort the millions who mourn. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
