  as a world unites in prayer and compassion
  for the people of Newtown Connecticut.
  We pray for all involved in the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
  Bless with your kindness those who speak to the broken-hearted.
  Bless the teachers, paramedics, medical staff and police
  with courage, skill and wisdom.
  Bless those who mourn.
  Bless those who grieve
  and comfort the bewildered.
  Help us each to build a world safe and fit for children.
  Amen. Amen. Amen.
