Prayer for Nova Scotia Shooting

Prayer for Nova Scotia Shooting
Posted on 04/21/2020

Canadians across the country are mourning after the news of a senseless act of terrorism in Nova Scotia over the weekend. The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board invites you to join us in prayer as we think of the victims and their families at this time.


In disbelief and sorrow, we come to you, O God, sickened by the brutal, senseless deaths of so many of our brothers and sisters in Nova Scotia. We grieve with them this tragic loss, and ask you to welcome those who have died to a place of peace and light, far from tragedy and pain. Pour out your strength and comfort on families, friends and communities who today are stunned and mourning, and surround them with love and support. Guide us toward a world that values every human being, and may the Easter message of Resurrection give us hope to keep building that world. We ask this through Christ our Risen Lord. Amen.
