A Prayer for World Peace by Pope John Paul II
“O God, Creator of the universe, Who extends Your parental concern over every creature and guides the events of history to the goal of salvation, We acknowledge Your parental love when You break the resistance of humanity and, in a world torn by strife and discord, You make us ready for reconciliation. Renew for us the wonders of Your mercy: send forth Your Spirit to work in the intimacy of hearts; that enemies may begin to dialogue; that adversaries may shake hands and peoples may encounter one another in harmony. May all commit themselves to the sincere search for true peace which will extinguish all arguments, for charity which overcomes hatred, for pardon which disarms revenge. Amen.”
(World Peace Day, January 1, 2002)
