Prayer for Peace around the world

Reflection:
Today around the world there is much injustice, suffering and intolerance. We pray especially for all young people who are exploited or who find themselves caught up in violent situations. We pray for boys and girls whose childhood has been stolen in the cause of war, slavery and greed.

Prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
