O Lord, whose love for France surpasses all human affection; Comfort those gripped by pain and grief; blanket hearts that beat with fear; enlighten them with the assurance of love's victory over death. Strengthen aid workers, families, friends, and strangers, whose work it is to assist and rebuild that which has been brought down. Grant us the wisdom and courage to shun vengeance and embrace justice, that those who do evil may be held accountable, so that peace and tranquility may reign. We ask this in the name of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, who with the Father and Holy Spirit live and reign forever. Amen.
