and 2 WHEREAS, we now renounce these despicable acts of terrorism and 3 ask Almighty God to root out the seeds of such terrorism that grow 4 in the hearts of men and women worldwide, festering into acts of 5 destruction and violence.

We ask for an uncovering of such plots 6 before they can claim further lives.

We ask for divine justice 7 tempered with divine mercy;

But we decree this will be a place to restart hope for a better and more 0 peaceful future.

It will not be a place of rekindling anger toward 1 terrorists, which gives the darkness power.

It will instead be a 2 place where light dispels darkness;

hope dispels 3 despair;

and 4 WHEREAS, we resolve that while we will not be cowed by 5 terrorists, we will not respond in a like spirit;

Murrah Federal Building 8 in Oklahoma City.

We do so not in vain, thinking nothing has truly 9 changed in the hearts of men and women in the last 30 years, 0 believing that we are more divided now than perhaps any time in 1 history.

We do so instead with the hope that, with divine help, we 2 can begin to truly love our brothers and sisters and move past the 3 hatred that so easily divides us.

We bless those who persecute us 4 and despitefully use us, not because we don't desire justice, but BOLDbecause FACEwe denotesknow Committeedivine Amendments.justice exceeds our own, just as divine mercy is given to those who seek mercy.
