As the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bomber continues, all of Boston is in lockdown. Here at Saint John's Seminary we are all safe and the seminarians are praying for the safety of all involved. Please be one with us in prayer.
O God, merciful and strong,
who crush wars and cast down the proud,
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.
