God,

   we pray for the power to be gentle;

      the strength to be forgiving;

         the patience to be understanding;

            and the endurance to accept the consequences of holding

               to what we believe to be right.

May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil

   and the power of love to overcome hatred.

      We pray for the vision to see

         and the faith to believe in the world emancipated from violence,

            a new world where fear shall no longer lead us to commit injustice,

               nor selfishness make us bring suffering to others.

Help us to devote our whole live and thought and energy

   to the task of making peace,

      praying always for the inspiration and the power

         to fulfill the destiny for which we and all humanity were created.
