A Vigil in Response to an Act of Mass Violence

Bishop Steve Lane, Diocese of Maine, wrote this litany that has been used in many places across the Church in the wake of tragedies from gun violence. It was written to be shared and adapted as needed: A Vigil in Response to an Act of Mass Violence.

Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us. So be swift to love, make haste to be kind, and go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
