Justice and Peace Prayer

By: Jane Deren

God of Justice and Peace,
Mold our consciences
according to justice,
And shape our hearts
according to peace,
That we may recognize the talents
that you have given us
To secure the rights of the poor,
the oppressed, the sick
and the marginalized.
God, we are Your children.
Grant us the courage and strength
To work for justice,
And in this way,
Live out our call
to be peacemakers.
