I posted this over in the Prayer Forum, but I wanted to post it here for my fellow Catholics, too.


Hello,

For the past several days I have felt the urge (for want of a better word) to pray for the terrorists. One terrorist, even. We all know the power of prayer, so I'm asking every one of you if you would take just one minute out of your day to say one little prayer for one terrorist, or one child who is being raised up to be a terrorist. Pray that God will move this person's heart to see that it is NOT His will that people should kill others in His name.

Islam is not the religion of killing that these fanatics make it to be. But after generations of being taught in this fanatic fashion, they believe what they are doing or planning to do will get them to "Paradise". They believe they will be martyrs for a "holy cause".

If we could pray for one child being taught these lies, maybe this child will discover the true will of God. Love, not hate! Maybe one adult terrorist will question what he or she has been taught to believe.

Prayer can work wonders. Would you please say a little prayer each day? Would you ask your friends and family to do the same? Maybe with prayer we can help to bring peace and love where there is war and hate.

Thanks for reading this.

Why certainly! Prayer accomplishes a great many things from the mundane to the mighty, the personal to the international.

Will do.

One of my kids has been praying for the terrorists that they may come to understand that their efforts are not glorifying to God at all.

Thank you, Amy and KC! And, KC, Bless your "kid"!

This has been on my prayer list for years, with what has been going on in the Middle East. It was brought home even more so on 9/11/01. These people need as many prayers as possible.
