I heard of the horrific shooting. I am deeply heartbroken for the tragedy. Pray for he comfort of all those who had died and their families and loved ones. Also pray for those wounded and those fighting for their lives in the hospital, that they may be resilient, survive, and recover.
My prayer For those that are dead:
O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.
For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.
My prayer for those that are wounded and those fighting for their lives right now:
O Lord have mercy. O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit those who have been wounded in the Orlando nightclub shooting. Stretch forth Your hand that is full of healing and health, and get them up from their bed, and cure them of their injuries. Put away from them the spirit of disease and of every malady, pain and fever to which they is bound; and if they have sins and transgressions, grant to them remission and forgiveness, in that You love mankind; yea, Lord my God, pity Your creation, through the compassions of Your Only-Begotten Son, together with Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit, with Whom You are blessed, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
My prayer for the victims and all the loved ones that know them:
O Lord Have Mercy. Again let us pray God almighty the Father of our Lord and our God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. We pray and beseech thy goodness, o lover of man: remember, o Lord, the peace of thy one only holy catholic and apostolic church which is from one end of the world to the other: bless all the peoples and all the lands: the peace that is from heaven grant in all our hearts, but also the peace of this life bestow upon us graciously. The king, the armies, the magistrates, the councillors, the multitudes, our neighbors, our goings in and our goings out, order them in all peace . . . Let all our souls live through thine Holy Spirit and let not the death of sins have dominion over us thy servants nor all thy people.
Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.
Lord of the Powers, have mercy on us.
Amen.
