Dearest Lord,

I bare my heavy heart to you this day. I trust in your goodness and the goodness that is a part of all of humanity. Unite us in this time of sadness and confusion. Please send the Graces to allow us to grieve and mourn, the injured of disasters that have plagued our country this week.  Make us instruments of reconciliation and guide us on the path of Mercy and civility. May we offer aid and comfort to others as we implement justice. Through your gifts we are able to act in freedom and grow in love. Help us to speak up for the innocent and act righteously. May you pierce our hearts with Mercy and Love. In your Holy Name, I humbly ask.

Amen
