For the dearly departed of Virginia Tech

Grant, O Lord, to all who are bereaved the spirit of faith and courage, that they may have strength to meet the days to come with steadfastness and patience; not sorrowing as those without hope, but in thankful remembrance of your great goodness, and in the joyful expectation of eternal life with those they love. And this we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Remember the souls of the innocents in your prayers, commending them to glory in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; and their friends and families, stricken with grief; and pray for the tormented soul of the one who committed the wickedest of sins, that God may have mercy on him and spare him from damnation eternal.
