A prayer for Sri Lanka
Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ (John 20.19)
Risen Lord Jesus,
as our sisters and brothers
knelt to pray
life was taken from them,
as others relaxed
life was taken from them.
In the presence of such evil
keep us firm in faith
and constant in love
that the world might be filled
with your life, your light
and your peace.
Amen.
