Peace

This week has been very eventful from a news standpoint. As everyone should know, Tuesday was the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. This was to be a day of remembrance for all of those victims and heroes who lost their lives on that tragic day.

Unfortunately, on the 11th anniversary of those attacks, another attack was taking place upon the U.S Embassy in Libya. More blood was shed and more lives were lost, including that of U.S Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The whole situation is scary. It is truly saddening and upsetting to see this taking place.

I know what I'm about to say is cliche but I believe it truly is something that we should pray for: world peace. I know that I will continue to pray for this situation to be resolved peacefully.

Blessed are the Peacemakers,
for they shall be known as the Children of God.
But I say to you that hear, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who abuse you.
To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also,
and from those who take away your cloak,
do not withhold your coat as well.
Give to everyone who begs from you,
and of those who take away your goods, do not ask them again.
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
