Prayer for Peace
O God, hear my voice and grant our world your peace.
Hear my voice,
it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence;
Hear my voice,
it is the voice of all children
who suffer when we put our faith in weapons and war;
Hear my voice,
for I speak for those in every country
and in every period of history
who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace;
O God, hear my voice and grant our world your peace.
Send us your Holy Spirit,
instil into the hearts of all people
the wisdom of peace,
the strength of justice
and the joy of fellowship
so that we may respond
to hatred with courage and love,
to injustice with dedication to truth,
to suffering and need
by the compassionate sharing of ourselves,
to war with the non-violence of Jesus,
who brings hope and peace.
O God, hear my voice
and grant our world your peace.
Amen.
