Prayer for Peace and Justice

Dear Lord,

We stand before you, a wounded people, hungering for peace and justice. Protect the people of Ukraine, Palestine, Africa, and other nations experiencing poverty, war, and destruction. 

Protect all children, women, and men from further harm and may your Holy Spirit inspire people throughout the world to work for peace and justice.  

Instill a desire for peace and justice in the minds and hearts of all people, especially world leaders.  

May suffering, discrimination, armed conflict and all forms of violence come to an end and may your Holy Name be praised throughout the world forever and ever.  

Amen

Let us pray that we who are “Enduring Parishioners” and “New-Found Friends” 
of Christ the Good Shepherd
may respond to God’s trust in us who possess any talents!
 
God of Peace and Love; You who are kind, loving and full of mercy,
You no longer call us servants, but friends!
 
There is so much You have entrusted to us, even the future of
Your kingdom of justice, peace and love.
 
Give us the grace to work with You today, tomorrow and beyond.
 
May this growth in mercy and goodness unite all people who seek
You with a sincere heart.
 
Striving to be reconciliation and joy to everyone, may
Christ the Good Shepherd
forever be “The Small Church With A Big Heart”
through our collective talents, time and treasures.
 
Let us go together the way to You,
our living and loving God
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Amen.
