Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servants. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, sheep of your own fold, lambs of your own flock, sinners of your own redeeming. Receive them into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
May their soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
-Book of Common Prayer

This is a flashback to 9/11 in some ways, and again we must lift them up in prayer --
Mercy of God, deliver us.
Love of Christ, heal us.
Spirit of God, strengthen us.
Lord, have mercy on all those hurt by the massacre in Virginia -- the victims, the injured, the traumatized, the grieving, the rescuers, and the healers.
Prince of Peace, grant through your holy Cross where you suffer with all humanity, that we may rise up to new life with you, to be instruments of your Peace.
This we pray through Christ our Lord, and the intercession of Father Mychal Judge, friend of the injured, the grieving and rescuers. Amen.
