Almighty God,

We pray for all fallen Law Enforcement Officers

and lift them in appreciation for their bravery and commitment

while serving the public. We ask that you comfort and anoint

their loved ones and their colleagues with strength, courage and understanding.

As we pray also for those

who continue to be in danger from all violence,

we give thanks for the constant bravery and dedication

to duty of all officers who place their lives in jeopardy

to protect our communities.

May they be strengthened for the tasks they face

and supported in the commitment they give,

that they may further the well-being of all citizens

and enable our society to be loving, just and at peace.

We ask this in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen
