Pope John XXIII: Prayer for Peace
“Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often said, ‘Peace to you,’ grant us peace. Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love. Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace. Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace. May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters. May longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all.”
Albert Schweitzer: Prayer for Peace
“O Lord, our Father, grant that we may never forget Your great love for us, and may we show our gratitude for it by an unselfish love for our fellow men. May we ever remember that to be a true disciple means to serve others and to work for peace in this world.”
“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not find himself peace.”
