Trinitarian Peace Prayer Part II

Divine and Human Jesus, how many moments of darkness and terror have been endured in war-torn nations? How much blood has been shed? How many lives have been shattered by violence? How many hopes have been buried under the pain and rubble? Let there be a movement of compassion that leads us to initiate concrete action to achieve an equitable justice for the peoples of the world.

Guide us toward justice and peace for those who live under the overwhelming reality of violence, for those who have become refugees from their homes due to wars of aggression, for those who have lost loved ones, and for those who have been wounded in body, mind, and spirit. Protect and heal those who are most vulnerable to the sufferings of hunger, loss of shelter, disease, and sexual assault.

Christ of Peace Who Suffered and Died for Us, hold closely and comfort all who suffer injustice and violent attacks. AMEN+++
