Prayer for Peace and Healing

Source of all Life, Goodness and Love

During this tumultuous time, draw us toward all that is good and compassionate. Make us instruments in restoring peace and healing to our world and all of creation. Help us come to a greater communion with each other, respecting and valuing our diversity.

We grieve the senseless killings of innocent lives from all forms of violence. We yearn for equality for all, regardless of gender, race, culture, economic status and religion. Let us find serenity and solitude amidst the upsetting news creating uncertainties and anxiety. Open our eyes to truly see no boundaries, that we are all united, wherever we are.

May we never remain complacent, frustrated and hopeless. May we embrace, instead, ways toward individual and communal transformation. Deepen our quest and ignite our spirits to the radical truth that we are all one. With renewed confidence, we trust in the power of Love, Mercy and Justice.

Amen.
