Oremus...

Brothers and Friends of Saint John’s Seminary, 

Thanks to all of our friends for their prayers throughout the day.

We've heard from Mike Zimmerman and Callan Davis that they are safe and sound.  Mike was completing his run of the marathon and Callan was watching from near the stands at the time of the explosion.  Thank God for delivering our brothers.  

Join us all in praying for those who were killed and all who suffered casualties and for their families.

O God, merciful and strong,
be pleased to banish violence swiftly from our midst
and to wipe away all tears,
so that we may all truly deserve to be called your children.

 Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you 

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. 

Monsignor Moroney
