love and prayers to those at Virginia Tech

Spiritual resource to share: compassion

"Love is especially near in times of hate....." writes Mary Baker Eddy, and this is the centerpiece of friend Chris' post about "Sending prayers to Virginia Tech" on her blog Practical Spirituality. Please have a look! and feel free to share your prayers here.

In some ways this reminds us of 9/11 again.

"Prayer for Virginia Tech":

Mercy of God deliver us.
Love of Christ heal us.
Spirit of God strengthen us.

Lord, have mercy on all those hurt by the horrific massacre in Virginia -- the victims, the injured, the traumatized, the grieving, the rescuers, and the healers.

Prince of Peace, grant that through your holy Cross where you suffer with all humanity, we may rise up to new life with you, to be instruments of your Peace.

Through Christ our Lord, and the intercession of Fr. Mychal Judge, "the Saint of 9/11". Amen.
