In the world, let there be peace. May we overcome hate with love. Protect those who must fight for freedom. Grant courage to all who face hate. Guide our leaders through difficult choices.

May we stand for what is right and fair. Keep us from destroying ourselves. Strengthen those who grieve. Remember the hurting children. May we offer tender words.

May our hands be quick to help. Be our shelter in times of fear. Heal our land, heal our world. Grant us tolerance, wisdom, and compassion. May we stand united upon this earth.

                                                                                       Amen
