LORD: a year ago we prayed for peace, comfort and strength.

Now:
ENFOLD Holly and Jessica in your care
EMBRACE their parents in your love
ENCOURAGE us all now and in the days to come.

MAY:
peace and justice be established
hope and joy increased
death and despair be defeated.

KEEP US:
aware of your light which no darkness can destroy
courageous and loving
and faithful to the end.

Through Christ our Lord.
AMEN.
