主顧修女會和平反暴力禱文

眷顧我們的天主,
願祢憐憫我們的殘缺和破碎,
求祢賜給我們勇氣
讓我們知道該如何、在何時何地悔改,
讓我們能與全人類團結生活。
救我們脫離那引發暴力的優越感與羞辱,
賜給我們謙卑和渴望的心,
去留心聆聽
那些和我們擁有不同經歷與態度的人的聲音。
救我們脫離那引發暴力的貪婪與特權,
賜給我們意志力和單純的渴望,追求簡樸的生活。
讓每個人都能公平享有各自在地球上的那份資源。
救我們脫離沈默;
那容許虐待、戰爭,及一切邪惡橫行的沈默。
賜給我們勇氣和一份渴望,
能敢於冒險,為了人類共同福址,大膽發聲、採取行動。
救我們脫離對環境的暴力;
我們無禮、剝削和控制的暴力。
賜給我們力量和一份渴望,
凡事慎審而行,尊重大自然。
天主的博愛、仁慈和正義,
知曉我們共同的過犯;
正是我們的態度、行為和言語上的缺失,才使暴力持續不斷。
我們祈求能有和平非暴力的心。
阿門。
