On this 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attack on America, let us pray:
For the Church, that she may continue to provide care and healing for all, especially those affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001.
For all victims of violence and terrorism around the world, and for their families, that they may find comfort and peace.
For the safety of our service men and women abroad, for civil servants who protect us and keep us safe, and for all who live with war and violence.
For our leaders and for the leaders of nations, that they may work together to address the problems that provide fertile ground for the growth of terrorism.
For the ability to forgive and for an end to all hatred, beginning in our own hearts.
