Memory and Peace
"Blessed are the peacemakers."
— Matthew 5:9
God of peace,
This day reminds us that violence and hatred can destroy so many lives in an instant. We remember all the victims of terrorism and violence.
May their memory inspire us to build peace. To refuse hatred, to seek dialogue, to build bridges rather than erect walls. Peace is built day by day.
Help us be peacemakers. In our hearts first, then in our families, our communities, our world. May good triumph over evil.
Amen.

Reflection
How can you contribute to peace today? Even a small gesture counts.
For all victims of violence and for peace in the world.
