PRAYER FOR PEACE
Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the
Prince of Peace, who are yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often
said, "Peace to you," grant us peace. Make all men and women witnesses of truth,
justice, and brotherly love. Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger
peace. Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of
peace. May all peoples on the earth become as brothers and sisters. May
longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all.
- Pope John Paul II
Please join in praying for peace in our world, for the safety of all members
of the military services, at home and abroad, and for all who serve and protect.
