A prayer for peace in troubled times
O God, who would fold both heaven and earth in a single peace: Let the design of your great love lighten upon the waste of our wraths and sorrows; and give peace to your Church, peace among nations, peace in our dwellings, and peace in our hearts; through your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
