Lord God, you hold both heaven and earth in a single peace. Let
the design of your great love shine on the waste of our anger and
sorrow, and give peace to your Church, peace among nations, peace
in our homes, and peace in our hearts, in Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Amen.
Luke 19:38
Zechariah 8:12
This is a great prayer for peace which gives us the idea of
peace as something shared between heaven and earth. The prayer also
shows us what happens when we ignore peace and become angry. The
prayer brings together the Church, the nations of the world our
homes and ourselves.
