Lord we grieve with the people of Paris.
We grieve for the lives lost in senseless violence.
Our tears are shed for those who have been wounded.
Our hearts ache for those who are consumed by hate.

Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.

Lord give wisdom to those who must make decisions.
Lord give your strength to those who seek to protect.
Lord give guidance to those who must respond.

Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
