In this time of crisis and conflict and war in Ukraine, let us join our hearts and prayers with people of faith around the world for peace and concord. May the violence and quest for power end. May all people create ways to live together in peace. And, because peace is more than the mere absence of war, we too pray as we may have sung:
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
O Lord, God of life, as you care for all creation, give us your peace. May our security come not from weapons, but from respect. May our strength come not from violence, but from love. May our own wealth come not from money, but from sharing.
May our path be not one of ambition, but of justice. May our victory not be one of revenge, but of forgiveness. Unarmed and confident, help us to defend the dignity of all creation. Sharing today and always the bread of solidarity and peace. Amen.
