A Rosary for the Holy Innocents of Newtown, Connecticut: A Liturgay for Peace

Make a sign of faith or meditative readiness.

            Prayer Refrain:

            O Goddess make speed to save us, O Creation make haste to help us.

First Meditation:

A voice was heard in Newtown,

sobbing and loud lamentation;

America weeping for her children,

and she would not be consoled,

since they were no more.

            Prayer Refrain

Second Meditation:

May all evil sleep,

May all good awake.

May bright wisdom prevail,

May deep peace dwell in our hearts.

            Prayer Refrain

Third Meditation:

From division, keep us

From hatred, shield us

From scorn, relieve us

From vengeance, turn us.

            Prayer Refrain

Fourth Meditation:

May hard choices be made

May the greater good be known

May peace be our rock

May loving-kindness, healing and Justice be among us.
