O God,
Creator of the universe,
who
extends your paternal concern over every creature
and guides the events of
history
in the goal of salvation,
we acknowledge your fatherly love
when you
break the resistance of mankind 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
that He may 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.
Hebrews 12:14
"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."
Zechariah 9:10
"I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
