Our prayers are with the staff, pupils and families of All Saints School Sheffield.

Today we reach out to our wider Catholic community, to the staff and pupils at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield and we hold them in our prayers.

It is important for us to the show love for our brothers and sisters in our diocesan community. Let us take a moment to reflect and pray:

Lord, We come before you with heavy hearts, grieving the loss of a young life taken too soon. We pray for the family, friends, students and staff at All Saints. May they find comfort and strength in your presence during this painful time.

We ask for peace in their community, that they may support one another with kindness and understanding. We pray for healing, for those who are hurting, and for a world where violence no longer claims the lives of young people.

Grant us the courage to show love to one another, and help us to remember the importance of valuing every life.

Eternal rest grand unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Amen.
