God of Peace,

Today we remember all those who lost their loved ones on September 11, 2001, and all those whose lives changed forever on that day.  

We pray for healing for everyone touched by that day.  

We lift up to you all the darkness in today's world, where violence, terrorism, war, and hatred wreak so much suffering.  

God, show us the way to peace.  Guide our world leaders towards peaceful solutions to the world's problems.  

Help us to find ways small and large in our daily lives to reach out to people around the world and to be light bringers and hope bringers.  

Amen.
