Grant Us Peace

Dona nobis pacem. God, grant us peace.

This year, that is my only prayer. God, grant us peace. Bring peace once again to this troubled world. Bring rest to the hearts who have known only grief. Bring joy to those who have known sorrow. Come again into our world and heal the divisions that we have created between us. Bring peace within families, between friends and between enemies. Cause the conflict between nations to cease and terror to end. This is not a welcoming world, but please come again and bring with you the peace that we have lost. On this night, come into this world and bring us peace.

Dona nobis pacem. God, grant us peace.
