Merciful God in heaven: Grant, we beseech thee, peace and rest to those whose lives were taken in the Boston Marathon bombing, and comfort those who mourn them. Give strength and courage to those who were injured, and bless those who minister unto them. Grant our nation the resolve to carry on our lives with faith and dignity, that we may bear witness to thy salvation, and may come eventually to know the joys of thy kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
