For the Victims of the Mass Shooting in Munich

For the Victims of an Act of Terrorism

Merciful God in heaven: Grant, we beseech thee, peace and rest to those whose lives were taken in the mass shooting in Munich, and comfort those who mourn them. Give strength and courage to those who were injured, and bless those who minister unto them. Grant the people of Germany 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.
