Pray for Peace, Fellowship, and Understanding

A Vatican spokesperson issued a statement today that stated:

the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, a man who sowed division and hatred and who caused "innumerable" deaths, should prompt serious reflection about one's responsibility before God, not rejoicing.

This is surely right. Bin Laden came to symbolize violence, hatred, and ignorance. The fitting way to commemorate his passing from the scene would be for all people--esp. Christians, Muslims , and Jews--to pray for peace, fellowship, and understanding. Then, bin Laden's defeat would be complete.
