For Peace against violence
God of life,
Every act of violence in our world, in our communities, between myself
and others destroys a part of your creation. Stir in my heart a renewed
sense of reverence for all life. Give me the vision to recognize your spirit
in every human being, however, they behave towards me. Make possible
the impossible by cultivating in me the fertile seed of healing love. May I play
my part in breaking the cycle of violence by realizing that peace begins
with me. In the name of Christ, who is our peace, Amen.
