Prayer for Peace

By: Pax Christi USA

Oh God,
we believe that peacemaking
means planting seeds
even though we may never see the flower,
and that it means never losing sight
of the vision promised by You.
We hold fast to Your word
that one day swords
will be beaten into plowshares.
May we, as peacemakers,
stake our lives on that promise.
We ask this through your life-giving Spirit.
Amen.
