For the Cessation of Violence

Almighty God, Creator of all men, unto whom the blood of Abel crieth from the ground: Deliver us, we beseech thee, from the fear and anger which driveth Cain to rise up and slay his brother. Grant us the courage to forgive, and the humility to be forgiven; cast away the beams from our eyes, that we may truly see all men as our brothers in Christ; and vouchsafe us to live in peace and harmony until the coming of thy Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

May the souls of those lost to violence in Baton Rouge, St Paul, and Dallas, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

. Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.
. And let light perpetual shine upon them.
. May they rest in peace.
. Amen.
