Prayer for a Victim of Accident or Violence

Lord our God,
you are always faithful and quick to show mercy.
Our brother/sister _________

Come swiftly to his/her aid,
have mercy on him/her,
and comfort his/her family and freinds
by the power and protection of the cross.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
