Prayer for Solace and Peace

On the horrifying news today,

I have no meaningful words today.
Nothing can be said, its just too early.
My heart just aches.

Just a simple prayer to our Goddess, that She might find a way to console the inconsolable.

Goddess of Solace,

For the children,
For their parents and families,
For the teachers,
For their friends,
And for this country;

Be with them, and all of us;

The stunned, hurt and afraid,
The angry and horrified.
The inconsolable.

Wrap yourself around them,
As only you can;

Lift them up.
Give them back the hope that was taken from them.

Work to heal, yet again,
As they mourn.

Blessed be to all today,
For we all need it.
