Prayers for today for the victims of crime...

UNITED IN LOCKDOWN, united in prayer….

Together let us pray, let us act and let us declare to one another – YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Today join us as we pray for the victims of crime

Comforter Spirit, ease the distress and suffering of those whose lives are locked down because of crimes committed against them.

Move through others to bring reassurance that they are not alone, physically or in the depths of their souls.

Unlock doors that reveal a path of healing through hurt and injustice to a more peaceful place, where trust and confidence can be gradually restored. United in prayer, we bring our wounds as we say together.

And pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen
