Knights of Columbus World Day of Prayer for Peace (September 11th):
God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the earth. Turn to your way of lovethose whose hearts and mindsare consumed with hatred. God of understanding, overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance as we confront such terrible events. Grant that those whose lives were sparedmay live so that the lives lost… may not have been lost in vain.
Comfort and console us, strengthen us in hope, and give us the wisdom and courage to work tirelessly for a world where true peace and love reignamong nations and in the hearts of all.
