Workers Interfaith Network shares prayers for those injured and killed as a result of the tragic collapse of the I-35W bridge.

We pray in a special way with all workers injured and possibly killed in the calamity. And we pray in thanksgiving for all of the workers who served and continue to serve as first responders and caregivers, and for all workers who labored to hold the community together in a time of tragedy. They are heroes doing God’s work in the world.

Finally, we pray in thanksgiving for the role we know that workers will play in carrying our community through this difficult time. We pray in thanksgiving for the workers who will carry our community on public transit around this wounded place in the city. We pray in thanksgiving for those who will rebuild this place. And we pray in thanksgiving for those who will help members of our community heal and mourn.
