A Prayer for the Grace and Strength to work for Peace

Praying for Peace and Justice on October 20, 2024

Let us pray.

Holy One,

As Jeremiah cried out, “Peace, peace, when there is no peace.”

In Matthew’s Gospel, to be consoled, because peace is no more in our land.  Holy One, we cry out: Peace, peace when there is no peace.“

Without justice, there can be no peace.  Give us the grace and strength to work for peace in our world, in our relationships, in our streets, in our community, and in our country.

In Your many names we pray: Amen
