Lord, God of peace,
we thank you for the desire
which your spirit of peace has roused in our day:
to replace hatred with love,
diffidence with understanding, unconcern with care.
Open our hearts even more to the needs of all our
brothers and sisters,
so that we may be better able to build a true peace.
For the people of every race,
of every tongue,
may your kingdom come:
your kingdom of justice, of peace, of love. Amen.
