O Divine Source of Peace!

Stop the war that breaks hearts and homes
Bridge the gap in minds with the power of love and understanding.
Let hatred dissolve in the warmth of compassion.
May every heart learn the language of forgiveness.
Let mutual love and respect flow among all people.
May love cover all enmity and heal old wounds
Clear our vision; remove the clouds of fear and pride.
Uncloud our rigidity and open our minds to peace.

Let wisdom lead the way where darkness lingers.

May peace bloom where conflict once grew.
Let compassion speak louder than weapons.
Guide us to live with humility and grace.
Let our differences become a source of unity.
Plant kindness in the soil of every nation.
May the broken be mended with hope.
Let our hearts beat in harmony with one another.
May every experience awaken us to love.
Let peace be more than a dream—let it be our way of life.  Amen
