Light a candle, as a visible sign of the light of Christ, who is the light of the
world.
Take a deep breath. Feel the breath of God that has given you life. Centre
yourself and pray…
We grieve over loss and devastation.
We stand with those who are sorrowing.
Empty words without just outcomes,
leave empty hope without resolution.
We hear your voices. We offer our care.
We commit to peace-making and justice-seeking.
Amen.
