A Prayer for Peace  

God of Great Love,
we commit ourselves to living
in the most sincere, true and
profound humility
so that we might give voice
to your gospel of peace.

Empower us with your grace
of union and reconciliation
so that we might be impelled
to give our whole lives
for those deprived of bread,
peace and love.

Allow us the courage to give voice to
the cries of the poor,
to the terror of those at war,
to the humiliation of the many who
are disenfranchised.

May your healing and unifying love
flow through us in such a way
that it honors every neighbor on Earth,
without distinction,
in a manner that glorifies you as the
Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier
of all life.

Amen.

— Lyn Szymkiewicz, CSJ
