Peace Prayer

European Region

Lord, make us instruments of your peace!

Open our ears so that we may heed your Word and hear your call in the cries of the disenfranchised and the persecuted.

Open our eyes so that we may marvel at the beauty and diversity of your creation and protect it from exploitation and destruction.

Open our mouths so that we may spread the good news and give voice to justice and truth.

Open our hands, so that we may be ready to share and actively help wherever help is needed, with our actions and all our strength.

Open our minds and fill them with your wisdom, so that your wisdom may guide our thoughts and show us solutions in times of crisis and conflict.

Open our hearts, so that we may respect the dignity of every person and recognize our sister and brother in each one.

Open our hearts, so that we may receive, feel, and share your love.

Lord, make us instruments of your peace! Lord, grant us your peace!
