RESPONSE TO THE ATTACKS |
Let us mourn and pray for our dead; let us comfort
those who have lost loved ones; let us care for those who are injured;
let us aid all who are still searching; let us help those who are
beginning to clear the damage and rebuild; most
of all, let us pray: for healing, for comfort, for strength, for hope,
for the ability to forgive, for lasting peace. |
