A Prayer for our Jewish Sisters and Brothers

Loving God, creator of our lives, we experience great sadness as our Jewish sisters and brothers were robbed of human life while in prayer at their synagogue. Please give them the fullness of eternal life with you. They lived and believed in you, may they see the reality of what they believed on earth. Look with mercy on our world filled with hatred and violence. Help us seek your way of peace. Give consolation to the families of those whose lives were taken. Give them peace and comfort. Bless all our Jewish sisters and brothers and protect them from harm. We also pray for the man who took their lives , may he repent and come to know your law of love. We ask this in faith, for you are our God forever.
