The following prayer was written in response to the events
of 11 September 2001:
Father of all mankind, you look with great love on all your people of whatever race, culture and religion. We ask you to bless us this day and send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon all the diverse peoples of our world: the Spirit of peace and justice, of understanding and reconciliation. May people of violence allow themselves to be touched by the plight of those who suffer, and may your Spirit help broaden the horizons and deepen the understanding of us all. We make this our prayer through Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen. Nicholas Hutchinson, FSC
