Ecumenical Prayer for Peace

O Lord,you love justice and you establish peace on earth.
We bring before you the disunity of today’s world;
the absurd violence, and the many wars,
which are breaking the courage of the peoples of the world;
human greed and injustice,which breed hatred and strife.
Send your spirit and renew the face of the earth;
teach us to be compassionate towards the whole human family;
strengthen the will of all thosewho fight for justice and for peace,
and give us that peace which the world cannot give.

Amen.
