My Inspiration for today - Prayer for Peace (Pope John Paul II)


To the creator of nature and human persons, of truth and beauty I pray:

Hear my voice,
For it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations;

Hear my voice,
For it is the voice of all children who suffer and will suffer when people put their faith in weapons and war;

Hear my voice,
When I beg you to instill into the hearts of all human beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship;

Hear my voice,
And grant insight and strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice,
to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace.

O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your everlasting peace.

Amen
