Lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world
Have mercy on us.
Grant us peace.
For the unbearable toil of our sinful world,
We plead for remission.
For the terror of absence from our beloved,
We plead for your comfort.
For the scandalous presence of death in your Creation,
We plead for the resurrection.
Lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world
Have mercy on us.
Grant us peace.
Come, Holy Spirit, and heal all that is broken in our lives, in our streets, and in our world. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
(from Common Prayer)

(..still reeling after a dramatic, sad, scary and proud few days in Boston. This all hit close to home, with many friends and acquaintances frighteningly close to the tragic events of the week. Hoping that this is now over and healing can begin.
Lord have mercy on us and grant us peace!)
