Cardinal Keeler spoke to the National Press Club last week

His remarks were specifically about inter-religious peace efforts directed toward the Middle East. Brief, but some good stuff.
He quoted Psalm 85. Normally I leave the Scripture quoting to Corbin, because she's better at that than I, and Scripture sometimes looks funny here next to entries about da Yoopers and dirty books I've read. But since taking Psalms last spring, I have to admit there is a Psalm for every occassion. I mean, there are 150 of them. So here is Psalm 85:

1
For the leader. A psalm of the Korahites.
2
You once favored, LORD, your land, restored the good fortune of Jacob.
3
You forgave the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sins. Selah
4
You withdrew all your wrath, turned back your burning anger.
5
Restore us once more, God our savior; abandon your wrath against us.
6
Will you be angry with us forever, drag out your anger for all generations?
7
Please give us life again, that your people may rejoice in you.
8
Show us, LORD, your love; grant us your salvation.
9
I will listen for the word of God; surely the LORD will proclaim peace To his people, to the faithful, to those who trust in him.
10
Near indeed is salvation for the loyal; prosperity will fill our land.
11
Love and truth will meet; justice and peace will kiss.
12
Truth will spring from the earth; justice will look down from heaven.
13
The LORD will surely grant abundance; our land will yield its increase.
14
Prosperity will march before the Lord, and good fortune will follow behind.
