A Prayer for the People of Newtown, Connecticut

| SALVADOR DALI:Christ of Saint John of the Cross |
In Time of Calamity and Sorrow
O GOD, Merciful and Compassionate, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men, and who art ever ready to hear the prayers of those who put their turst in thee;
Graciously hearken to us who call upon thee, and grant us thy help and comfort in this calamity; look with pity we beseech thee, upon the sorrows of those for whom our prayers are offered.
Remember them, O Lord, in mercy; endue them with patience; comfort them with a sense of thy goodness; lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace.
Give strength and skill to all those who minister to them; and grant that, perceiving how frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, One God, world without end.
