Justice and Peace

Most countries are members of the United Nations. On the 26th of June, it was the anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter in 1945, just before the end of the Second World War. The United Nations commits itself to “Maintaining Peace and Security and to develop friendly relations among nations”.

In our current world climate, this is a big issue for us all and the United Nations faces many challenges in helping to foster peace amongst nations. Throughout this time it is also important to reflect on the need to protect the Human Rights of all who are affected by these conflicts, many of these people are forced from their homes and countries.

We offer this prayer for peace.

A Prayer for Peace

Lord Jesus Christ,
You are the true King of peace.
In You alone is found freedom.

Please free our world from conflict.
Bring unity to troubled nations.
Let Your glorious peace reign in every heart.

Protect the dignity of every human life.
Replace hatred with Your love. Give wisdom to world leaders.
Free them from selfish ambition.
Eliminate all violence and war.

Glorious Virgin Mary,
Saint Michael the Archangel,
Every angel and saint:
Please pray for peace.
Pray for unity amongst nations.
Pray for unity amongst all people.
Pray for the most vulnerable.
Pray for those suffering.
Pray for the fearful.
Pray for those most in need.
Pray for us all.

Amen.
