Prayer for Peace
Almighty and Eternal Father, God of wisdom and Mercy,
Whose power exceeds all force of arms and
Whose protection is the strong defense of all who trust
in Thee, and light and direct, we beseech Thee, those
who bear the heavy responsibility of government
throughout the world in these days of stress in trial.
Grant them the strength to stand firm for what is right
and the skill to dispel the fears that foment discord;
Inspire them to be mindful of the horrors of atomic war
for victor and vanquished alike, to Beck conciliation in
truth and patience, to see and every man a brother, that
the people of all nations may, in our day, enjoy the
blessing of a just and lasting peace.
Conscious of our own unworthiness, we implore Thy
mercy on a sinful world in the Name of Thy Divine Son,
the Prince of Peace, and through the intercession
of His Blessed Mother and all the saints.
Queen of All Saints, pray for us.
Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.
Queen of Peace, pray for us.
