Pray for the people of Sri Lanka

A reader writes:

Innocent civilians are being bombed by the Sri Lankan government just because they are Tamilian. Tamilians are Indians (from the state of Tamil Nadu) who moved to Sri Lanka decades ago and have been living there. They are being attacked as they are minority and are treated second class though most are citizens of Sri Lanka. Kindly, pray for these people.

God our Father, grant peace and reconciliation to the suffering people of Sri Lanka and, especially, your protectiona and justice to the Tamilians there, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
