A Prayer for Peace
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
May these and all our intercessions be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength and our redeemer.
