Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us,
Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us,
Lamb of God, whot takes away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us.
Let us pray:
O God, you who sent your son into the world that we might learn your ways of love and light, we ask you to help our sister Terri, save her from the hands of those who would take her life, and lift her up into the arms of those she loves.
And may we learn from her example about the wonderful gift of life you have given us, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
