Lord,
We pray for all whose lives have been touched by this tragedy. Embrace all those whose hearts today overflow with grief, unanswered questions and such a sense of loss.
For those who mourn, immerse them in your love and lead them into your arms, and light.
For those who comfort, be in both the words they use and all that’s left unspoken; fill each heart with love.
Help us to always care for each other in our school and say thank you to You every day for all of the people who love us and help us.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.
