We thank Thee, Master and Lover of mankind, King of the ages and giver of all good things, for destroying the dividing wall of enmity and granting peace to those who seek thy mercy. We appeal to Thee to awaken the longing for a peaceful life in all those who are filled with hatred for their neighbors, thinking especially of those at war or preparing for war. Grant peace to thy servants. Implant in them the fear of Thee and confirm in them love one for another. Extinguish every dispute and banish all temptations to disagreement. For Thou art our peace and to Thee we ascribe glory: to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
We pray, Lord our God, for all those who suffer from acts of war, especially for the victims and all those in the struggle in [............................]. We pray for thy peace and thy mercy in the midst of the great suffering that people are now inflicting on each other. Accept the prayers of thy Church, so that by thy goodness peace may return to all peoples. Hear us and have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Lord our God, remember and have mercy on our brothers and sisters who are involved in every civil conflict. Remove from their midst all hostility, confusion and hatred. Lead everyone along the path of reconciliation and peace, we pray You, hear us and have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Let all believers turn aside from violence and do what makes for peace. By the strength of thy mighty arm save thy people and thy Holy Church from all evil oppression; hear the supplications of all who call to Thee in sorrow and affliction, day and night. Merciful God, let their lives not be lost, we pray Thee, hear us and have mercy.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
But grant, O Lord, peace, love and speedy reconciliation to thy people whom Thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. Make thy presence known to those who have turned away from Thee and do not seek Thee, so that none of them may be lost, but all may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, so that everyone, in true love and harmony, O long-suffering Lord, may praise thine all holy Name. Amen.
