Prayer for Peace - Pope St John XXIII

Lord Jesus Christ,

who are called the Prince of Peace,

who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

who so often said, ‘Peace to you,’

grant us peace.

Make all men and women witnesses of

truth, justice, and brotherly love.

Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee

and defend the great gift of peace.

May all peoples of the earth becomes as brothers and sisters.

May longed-for peace blossom forth

and reign always over us all.

Amen.
