Prayer for Peace on Earth - Day 3

Reflection

Pacem in Terris spoke to everyone about their belonging to the one human family and it shone a light on the shared aspiration of people everywhere to live in security, justice and hope for the future. More than sixty years later we are more obviously than ever the children of one global family. Today let me open my heart to the deep aspirations of those people who seem furthest away from me.

As we Christians long for peace, we remember our brothers and sisters of other faiths who share our longings.

Prayer

A Jewish Prayer

Cause us, O Father, to lie down in peace, and rise again to enjoy life. Spread over us the covering of your peace, guide us with your good counsel and save us for the sake of your name. Be a shield about us, turning away every enemy, disease, violence, hunger and sorrow. Shelter us in the shadow of your wings, for you are a God who guards and protects us, a ruler of mercy and compassion…. Blessed are you, Lord, who spreads the shelter of peace over us, over His people Israel, and over all the world.
