Prayer for Manchester
God of compassion,
you are at the side of all who undergo
the cruelty of human violence.
We entrust to you the victims of the terror attack
in Manchester and their families.
Deeply disturbed by the incomprehensible sufferings
of the innocent across the world,
we believe that the words of Jesus, Your Son,
words of love, mercy and hope, will never pass away.
So we implore you: send consolation and healing,
grant us your peace, may your kingdom come.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
