Holy God, source of peace, provider of light – thank you for making peace possible. Thank you for placing within our hearts a deep yearning for Your peace, the kind of peace that means justice, enough for everyone, an end to all those isms that divide us. We pray that Your light might shine a path for us as we pursue Your peace, and that we might find along the way, the inner peace that fuels and re-fuels our continued journeys toward peace together. In your most Holy Name we pray. Amen.
