Prayer for March 11

FOR MADRID, SPAIN
March 11, 2004

For all who died two and half years ago in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania
And for all who died today in Madrid
And for all who died in previous terror attacks which I ignored because I didn’t understand
And for all who will die in future terror attacks which I am helpless to prevent
And for their families and friends who love them
My prayers

For all who were injured two and half years ago in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania
And for all who were injured today in Madrid
And for all who were injured in previous terror attacks which I ignored because I didn’t understand
And for all who will be injured in future terror attacks which I am helpless to prevent
And for their families and friends who love them
My prayers

For all who are haunted by what happened two and a half years ago in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania
And for all who will be haunted by what happened today in Madrid
And for all who are haunted by previous terror attacks which I ignored because I didn’t understand
And for all who will be haunted by future terror attacks which I am helpless to prevent
And for their families and friends who love them
My prayers

For all who do not understand what it is like
May they never be killed or hurt or haunted
By terror attacks anywhere in the world
May they always remain unaware
For them also
My prayers

Amen
