Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of life and created all people in your image. These days we see many acts of violence and hatred that harm our brothers and sisters in Christ, acts of violence that often result in the loss of life. We stand this day united in prayer with those families in Colorado who mourn the loss of family members. We know, Father, that you call for us to live in peace and love, and we cannot comprehend what occurred in Colorado. We must confess that we often contribute to violence when we give into hatred, fear, indifference and self-satisfaction. Help us, Father, to overcome these actions as we grow in our love for you, so that we may always value life over possessions. We desire to follow your son, our lord and savior, to bring your love to all whom we meet. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
