Send Thy peace O Lord, which is perfect and everlasting, that our souls may radiate peace. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may think, act and speak harmoniously. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may be contented and thankful for Thy bountiful gifts. Send Thy peace O Lord, that amidst our worldly strife, we may enjoy Thy bliss. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may endure all, tolerate all, in the thought of Thy grace and mercy. Send Thy peace O Lord, that our lives may become a Divine vision and in Thy light, all darkness may vanish. Send Thy peace O Lord, our Father and Mother, that we Thy children on Earth may all unite in one family.

O God, hear my voice and grant our world your peace. Hear my voice, it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence; Hear my voice, it is the voice of all children who suffer when we put our faith in weapons and war; Hear my voice, for I speak for those in every country and in every period of history who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace; O God, hear my voice and grant our world peace. Send us your Holy Spirit, instill into the hearts of all people the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship so that we may respond to hatred with courage and love, to injustice with dedication to truth, to suffering and need by the compassionate sharing of ourselves, to war with the non-violence of Jesus, who brings hope and peace. O God, hear my voice and grant our world your peace. Amen
