God, of peace and love,
Companion in solitude,
Protector in exile,
You inhabit the shadows of our communities
Show us the way to stand against injustice
To protect and nuture life, to live nonviolently.

Help us to embrace simplicity,
To be mindful of the value of all things,
To care tenderly for others.

Teach us to conserve
And preserve the natural gifts of this world.
Help us to take time to be present to one another.

Increase among us the spirit of tolerance and good will.
Bring us to the quiet still place of healing
And transform our souls into a reflection
Of Your love and compassion.

Prayer for Peace was composed by Lavange Guinn.
We invite you to join us in saying this prayer after meditation.
