Pope Benedict XVI Prayer for Peace:

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 nations of the earth. Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred.

God of understanding, overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance as we comfort such terrible events. Grant that those whose lives were spared may 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 reign among nations and in the hearts of all.
