Prayer: Prayer of Abandonment
This prayer was of great comfort to Father Jacques Mourad – a great contributor to religious dialogue, who used to recite this prayer when he was captured by ISIS in Syria between May-Oct 2015.
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, 
I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
Charles de Foucauld
From the Popes
COUNTER-TERRORISM MEASURES EXPECTED FROM G20... “It has become more and more evident that the solution to this grave problem cannot be a purely military one, but must also focus on those who in one way or another encourage terrorist groups through political support, the illegal oil trade or the provision of arms and technology. There is also a need for education and a heightened awareness that religion may not be exploited as a means of justifying violence.”
Pope Francis, Letter to the Prime Minister of Australia on the occasion of the G20 summit, 2014.
FROM LIFE: Pastora Mica Garcia - The Woman Who Kept Forgiving
This woman kept forgiving. They killed her father in front of her when she was only 4 years but she visited his murderer regularly when he became sick; they killed her 18 year old son, but she tended to one of the young man from the armed group who got hurt, crying out in pain.
A great story if you want to explore forgiveness and what "love one another" means.
“The more you speak against Islam and against all Muslims, the more terrorists it will create.”
