International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism

Reflection

“We stand in solidarity with those whose loved ones have been killed, those who still suffer from physical and psychological harm, and those communities and societies that have been permanently scarred by terrorist acts.” –António Guterres

Prayer

God our refuge and strength,

We unite with others across the globe today, to remember those whose lives are upended by terrorism year upon year. We give them voice today and renew our commitment not to look away from the injustice they suffer. May we honor the memory of those who have died—those we have known and those who will never be known—by lending concrete support to those who presently live amid fears and threats of violence. In solidarity with them, we pray for your kingdom to come, with its healing and liberation, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

Call to Action

In my own way or with my teams today, take time to observe this International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
