Turning on the radio we learned of the bombs that had exploded on underground trains just before nine O'clock (08:50 to be exact) and and shortly afterwards, at a quarter to ten, on a bus. The day's events resulted in killing fifty-two and injuring many more.
This is a day for remembrance and prayer for those involved in the '7/7' bombings and in all conflicts and acts of terror.
A day to think about those who are left behind to grieve the loss of loved ones and to remember those who still bear the scars in body or mind.

To pray for peace throughout the world.
"Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him."
