*2017-05-24*

> Bill Young leads a prayer for the victims of the Manchester attack, offering the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the Rosary, and special intentions for the 22 souls lost and their families.

## Opening Prayer

Good morning. This is Bill Young. Let us pray for those in Manchester, United Kingdom, who lost their lives in the tragic attack. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

## The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and for the sins of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Repeated several times as the chaplet is prayed.)

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.

## The Rosary for Our Lady of Fatima

We now pray the Rosary in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. The first decade is offered for hope, the second for love, the third for peace, the fourth for the Assumption, the fifth for the Coronation of Mary. Each decade is concluded with the Our Father, a Hail Mary, and the Glory Be.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

## Special Intentions for Manchester

Lord Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell. Lead the souls of the 22 victims of the Manchester attack to heaven, especially those who most need Your mercy. Grant peace and healing to the families and all who were injured.

We also pray for the intercession of Blessed Frank Duff and Adele Quinn, that their prayers may bring comfort and speedy recovery to those suffering in the United Kingdom.

## Closing Prayer

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope, we cry to you, poor banished children of Eve. Have mercy on us and obtain for us the promises of Christ.

May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us, the Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us, and all the saints intercede for us. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

*May the prayers of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Rosary bring consolation to the families of Manchester and draw the world closer to Christ’s love.*
