Prayer for Peace
Sadly, the
great pain, sorrow and tragedy have escalated in the Middle East. The ensuing
violence brings death and creates long-lasting destruction and hatred. It seems
as if during this tragic time we are helpless to stop it yet we do not want to
remain inactive. We call our school community to tum our hearts to God and join
us in Pope John Paul II's Prayer for Peace.
Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love.
Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace. Enlighten our rulers
that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace. May all peoples on
the earth become as brothers and sisters.
