We lift our hearts, souls, and minds to the Lord as we extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and the greater Twin Cities community affected by the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School yesterday.
We pray for the souls of those who lost their lives in this heartbreaking tragedy.
May they rest in peace with the Lord and in the love of the Holy Spirit.
We mourn their loss while also celebrating the beautiful lives that were cut short by gun violence.
May their families and the community find solace in the Lord.
Let us pray:
**The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi**
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born
To eternal life.
Amen.
🕯🕊
