Prayer

The Carmelite saint Teresa of Avila described prayer as conversation with the God whom we know loves us.

Prayer for victims of terrorism:

Loving God, welcome into your arms the victims of violence and terrorism.
Comfort their families and all who grieve for them. Help us in our fear and uncertainty,
And bless us with the knowledge that we are secure in your love. Strengthen all those who work for peace,
and may the peace the world cannot give reign in our hearts. Amen
