\u2026for they will be comforted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we recall the tragic events of this day, the road less taken of the Beatitudes always challenges us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGod of peace, bring your peace to our violent world, peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace
\namong the nations of the earth.<\/p>\n

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.\u201d<\/p>\n

-Pope Benedict XVI, Ground Zero visit, April 2008<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
