January is a month when we are invited to pray for peace - peace in our hearts, our homes, our communities and our world.

We share this prayer for peace and invite you to share your thoughts, hopes and prayers with us at  bwalsh@racinedominicans.org

Interfaith Prayer for Peace

O God, you are the source of life and peace. Praised be your name forever. We know it is you who turn our minds to thoughts of peace. Hear our prayer in this time of war. Your power changes hearts. Muslims, Christians, and Jews remember and profoundly affirm, that they are followers of the one God, children of Abraham, brothers and sisters. Enemies begin to speak to one another, those who were estranged join hands in friendship, nations seek the way of peace together. Strengthen our resolve to give witness to these truths by the way we live. Grant to us understanding that puts an end to strife, mercy that quenches hatred, and forgiveness that overcomes vengeance. Empower all people to live in your law of love.    Amen
