A Prayer on the Day of the Slaughter of Holy Innocents

On a day when many churches read the story of the Slaughter of the Innocents and what Joseph did to protect his Holy Family from evil, yet another House of Worship was attacked in America, this time here in Tarrant County.

We pray for those who were murdered this morning in a holy place.

We pray and give thanks for those modern-day Josephs who quickly and bravely acted to stop the further shedding of innocent blood.

We pray for the families and friends of those who mourn the loss of loved ones tonight — including those left to mourn the life and death of the assailant.

We pray God will act to thwart the plans of madmen and deliver us all from evil.

Maranatha, LORD, hear our prayer.
