A Litany for Peace
For families in Iran living in fear, and for all who live under the evil rain of bombardment, may they find safe refuge, Lord, hear our prayer.
For world leaders, that they stop the bombs and choose diplomacy over destruction and dialogue over retaliation, Lord, hear our prayer.
For all those who are poor and vulnerable, who bear the heaviest burdens of war, may their cries transform our hearts, Lord, hear our prayer.
For the courage to see the face of God in our neighbors and to build a culture of genuine encounter, Lord, hear our prayer.
For a lasting peace based on justice, mercy, and the sacred dignity of every life, Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.
