Prayer For Understanding

Oh Heavenly Father,
We beseech You to aid us in understanding
In These perilous times in which we live
Let there be understanding amongst all men.
Help us to understand that You alone are the Eternal Father.
Help us to understand that You have created all men in Your Image.
Help us to understand that hatred in Your Name, is false faith.
Help us to understand that killing in Your Name, is false faith.
Help us to understand that any violence done in Your Name is false faith.
Help us to understand, that You alone are all Good and Merciful.
Help us to understand, that You are worthy of all Praise, Worship, and Glory. Help us to understand, that none of us are worthy of standing before You,
You who are Holy, Love, Mercy, and Justice to all men.
We pray for all this through Christ, Our Lord, Who Lives and Reigns, in Unity, with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and Forever.

Amen

PRAYER FOR PEACE

Lord, God of peace,

who has created man,

the object of your kindness,

to be close to you in glory,

we bless you and we thank you

because you have sent us your beloved son, Jesus,

making him the mystery of the pasch,

the architect of all salvation,

the source of all peace,

the bond of true brotherhood.

We thank you for the desire,

the efforts, the realizations

which your spirit of peace

has roused in our day:

to replace hatred with love,

diffidence with udnerstanding,

unconcern with care.

Open yet more our hearts

to the needs of all our brothers and sisters,

so that we may be better able

to build a true peace.

Remember, Father of mercy,

all who are in pain,

who suffer and die

in the cause of a more brotherly world.

For the men of every race,

of every tongue - may your kingdom come:

your kingdom of justice,

of peace, of love;

and may the earth be filled with your glory.

Amen.

By Pope Paul VI.

Peace of Christ to ALL

PRAYER FOR THE POPE

All praise and glory are Yours, Lord Jesus:

You have made us Your body, Your Church,

And help us to bear fruit for our heavenly Father.

You chose St. Peter as the rock,

And sent him to feed Your flock

And to strengthen his brothers and sisters,

Continue to help Your Church

Through the guidance of our Pope,

And keep us faithful in Your service.

Jesus, our brother,

You are Lord for ever and ever.

Amen.
