Religion News: Peace 

We must not forget... We must keep praying

Lord God of Peace.

Today we pray for peace, especially in those places affected by war

. As we pray that our voices combine and our hearts beat as one. 

May your love and mercy flow like a river through the Immaculate Heart of Mary to bring peace to our world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Response: Amen.

And may our prayers lead us to action, to be the hands and face of God

Every morning children who are as old as those we teach wake up to the horror of war in Ukraine. We are called to continue to pray for these children, and their families and for peace in our world.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John:

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
