In prayer, we are... given the possibility to learn the language of peace and respect, strengthening that seed of peace that God himself has sown in men's hearts, and which constitutes, beyond differences of race, culture and religion, the most profound longing of the human being... At the same time, in prayer we can find new spiritual strength so as not to be defeated by the difficulties and snares of evil, and not to fail in the necessary path of dialogue, which definitively removes misunderstandings and suspicions, and allows us to continue building, as brothers and members of the same human family, the path of harmonious coexistence.Pope Benedict XVI, a message sent on his behalf by his secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, to the International Meeting of Prayer for Peace, under way through Tuesday in Barcelona, Spain (Oct. 4, 2010), as quoted in Catholic.net.
