St. Pope John Paul II's Prayer for Peace
Lord Jesus Christ,
Who are called the Prince of Peace,
Who are yourself
our peace and reconciliation,
who so often said,
"peace be with you," grant us peace.
Make all men and women
witnesses of truth,
justice, and brotherly love.
Banish from their hearts whatever
might endanger peace.
Enlighten our rulers that they may
guarantee and defend
the great gift of peace.
May all peoples on the earth
become as brothers and sisters.
May longed for peace blossom forth
and reign always over us all.
