A prayer for the murdered children.

God of love and life,
you gave these children to us as our sons and daughters. Give us now the assurance
that though they have passed from our sight,
they have not passed from your care.
Draw near to us in our sadness,
bring blessing out of grief,
and help us in our tears and pain
to know you are standing alongside us
and to experience your love and healing;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
