Mourning
Healer God,
We pray for all those who have been injured by war and
violence, whether their wounds are physical, mental, or spiritual. Soothe the
pain that lingers in bodies, hearts, and minds, and touch the places that need
healing. May your gentle presence be a source of comfort and security, bringing
peace to turmoil outside and within.
We pray for those who mourn for loved ones who have died from
injuries of war. It is impossible to come up with the right words to offer
parents who weep for the children they can no longer hold and to children who
grieve for parents whose lives were cut short. Instead, we offer our silence as
solidarity and as a sacred space for all who mourn.
We pray for peace.
Amen.
