Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

[Pegita]

Lord, give wisdom to those who are charged with the protection of our citizens ... lead them to those who have shattered families and instilled fear within us. Cause us to commit all to You, for only You can see what we cannot, and do what we cannot.

May Your hand of comfort be upon those who have lost loved ones to these tragedies; sustain those who seek an end to this slaughter; and bring down those who do evil against us. We do not merit Your mercy, Lord, but we pray for such because of, and in the precious name of Jesus, Amen ...
