Prayer for Peace
Christ, O Prince of Peace,
you were lifted up for our sake,
that all might look upon you and be saved.
We offer you our lives and hearts
in the new millennium.
May it be a time of reconciliation between people,
and of peace restored among nations,
a time when swords are beaten into ploughshares
and the clash of arms gives way to the songs of peace.
Father, may we live always docile to the voice of the Spirit,
faithful to the way of Christ,
diligent in listening to your Word.
Amen.
--From Pope John Paul II's Prayer for the Jubilee Year 2000
