In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.
People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.
Eternal God
hear the cries of your people

determination to peacemakers,
courage to law-enforcers,
strength to the weary.
Amen.
