Peace Prayer by Pope St John XXIII

Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often said, “Peace to 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 of the earth become as brothers and sisters.
May longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all.

(By St Pope St John XXIII)

How to Pray

God places no restrictions on where, when or how to pray.
Pray on the top of the highest mountain and at the bottom of your deepest moment, in the bath and in the bed, sitting and standing, working and resting, when in need and to give thanks.
Use traditional prayers, music, dance, meditation or whatever other form of communication you enjoy, there God will be.
Pray with a sincere heart and manage your behaviour to reflect the promises you make when you pray. So, don’t forget to listen, others will watch your actions.
