Here’s a prayer for peace
from the Catholic Online website.
Prayer for Peace
Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle;
the strength to be forgiving;
the patience to be understanding;
and the endurance to accept the consequences
of holding to what we believe to be right.
May we put our trust in the power of good to
overcome evil
and the power of love to overcome hatred.
We pray for the vision to see and
the faith to believe
in a world emancipated from violence,
a new world where fear shall no longer lead men to
commit injustice,
nor selfishness make them bring suffering to
others.
Help us to devote our whole life and thought
and energy
to the task of making peace,
praying always for the inspiration and the
power
to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were
created.
