> We all need to pray for one another, and to love one

> graves of the innocents all over the world, and give
> the children of the world the hope of a peaceful,
> loving and beautiful world.
>
> A world full of love and without hatred or fear. A
> world where we can join hands together and accept one another,
> regardless of our skin colour, ethnic divisions, religion or

> Merciful God, You made all of the people of the world

> committing horrifying crimes against humanity and
> millions more would not be butchered by them in the
> future, if You guide and help us find ways to reunite
> peacefully.

> IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE COMPASSIONATE, THE MERCIFUL,
> look with compassion on the whole human family; take
> away the controversial teachings of arrogance,
> divisions and hatreds which have badly infected our
> hearts; break down the walls that separate us; reunite
> us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to
