Almighty and everliving God, who art the author of life and lover of souls; receive, we beseech thee, the grief and sorrow our nation commemorates on this day and look down in mercy upon all whom these horrors touched—the departed and the killers, the families and all who suffer and grieve; and grant that we who once were nameless and no people, may never cease to welcome those who are relegated to the dens and caves of the earth, thou who art the God of the wanderer and of adoption; to whom, with thine eternal Son and Holy Spirit, be all glory and dominion, world without end. Amen.
