Lord,
hear our voice as we pray that you will instil in the hearts of all people
the wisdom of peace,
the determination for justice,
the demand for brotherhood.
Hear our voice when it echoes the multitudes
who, in every country and under every sky, do not want war
and are ready to walk the path of peace and reconciliation.
May we too be ready,
and for this we ask you, with the power of the Spirit,
for the courage to disarm our hearts.
Hear our voices, Father, and in them, the voice of Jesus.
Through Him, grant peace to the world,
in this time and for eternity.
