In 2002, at the very beginning of the war in Afghanistan, St. John Paul II appealed for peace throughout the world.
He spoke out against terrorism, urging nations to find a peaceful resolution.
He also prayed for victims of terrorism and for the conversion of terrorists, that they may see the evil of their ways.
Here is the prayer he prayed, that we can adapt to our own needs, interceding for all victims, as well as praying that terrorists may turn their hearts to God.
