Prayer for Peace on Earth - Day 1

Reflection

In 1963 Pope John XXIII addressed his great encyclical Pacem in Terris to a world living under the shadow and threat of war. He spoke fearlessly of a divinely established order in human affairs which is the basis of peace.

“The world will never be the dwelling place of peace till peace has found a home in the heart of each and every person, till every person preserves in himself the order ordained by God to be preserved.” – Pacem in Terris

Peace begins with me. Praying at Sacred Space, today, I can be especially open to the gift of Peace in my heart. It is a gift and can’t be forced. As we long for peace, we remember our brothers and sisters of all faiths who share our longings.

Prayer

A Buddhist Prayer

Evoking the presence of the great compassion, let us fill our hearts with our own compassion – towards ourselves and towards all living beings.

Let us pray that all living beings realise that they are all brothers and sisters, all nourished from the same source of life.
