NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 1/7

 

Lord,

we're so much in need of peace,

    the peace that's only yours to give...

 

We pray for peace, Lord,

    the peace that comes from you alone...

We plead for peace, Lord,

    the peace to heal our deepest wounds...

We hunger and thirst for peace, Lord,

    a peace we cannot give ourselves...

 

We pray for peace in our homes and in our streets,

in our villages, towns and cities,

in our nation and in the world,

    we pray for the peace of which we dream... 

 

And we pray for that peace deep within

ourselves, in our minds and hearts and souls,

    the peace that makes us one with you... 

We pray for that peace that begins - not with us - 

    but always and only with you, O Lord...

Protect us, Lord, in your peace,

    day and night, enfold us in your peace

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest - in your peace...

Amen.

 

Lord, Make Me An Instrument of Your Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace:

where there is hatred, let me sow love; 

where there is injury, pardon; 

where there is doubt, faith; 

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; 

where there is sadness, joy; 

and all for thy mercy's sake. 

O divine Master:

grant that I may not so much seek 

to be consoled as to console; 

to be understood as to understand; 

to be loved as to love; 

for it is in giving that we receive; 

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 

and it is in dying that we are born 

to eternal life.
