Violence

Prayer to the Prince of Peace

Perfect love casts our fear

and so today we pray for your spirit of love on our world.

Cast out the shooting of bullets into people’s bodies.

Cast out the explosion of bombs in crowded places.

Cast out the desperation that leads people to terrorist acts.

Cast out the making of walls that divide and imprison us.

Cast out the prejudice against people of a certain race or culture.

Cast out the political structures that perpetuate violence.

Cast out the hatred that produces fear.

Send down the courage to reach out in peace.

Send down the resolution to not return evil for evil.
