Prayer To End The Use Of The Death
Penalty Merciful Father, we ask your blessing on all we do to build
a culture of life. Hear our prayers for those impacted by
the death penalty. We pray for all people, that their lives and dignity as
children of a loving God may be respected and protected in
all stages and circumstances. We pray for victims of violence and their families, that
they may experience our love and support and find comfort in
your compassion and in the promise of eternal life.
