Lord, God of peace, we thank you for the desire, the efforts, the realizations which your spirit of peace has roused to replace hatred with love, diffidence with understanding, unconcern with care. Open yet more our hearts to the needs of all our brothers and sisters, so we may be better able to build a true peace. Remember, God of mercy, all who are in pain, who suffer and die in the cause of a more just world. For the people of every race, of every tongue - may your kingdom come: your kingdom of justice, of peace, of love; and may the earth be filled with your glory.
