Heavenly Father,
Your will for your people is peace, not war.
Pour out on our world,
your Spirit of compassion and solidarity.
Grant all those who believe in you
the strength to be close to those who suffer
and the courage to resolve their differences and conflicts
in truth and without resort to arms.
Be with the widow, the orphan, the refugee
and the peacemaker.
Bind us all into the peace of your Kingdom.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
