Dear Lord, help us to make the United States of America an instrument of thy
peace.
Wherever there is darkness may there be light.
Wherever there is despair, hope.
Wherever there is hatred and anger, forgiveness.
Lord grant that we may not seek to be forgiven so much as to forgive.
Lord grant that we may not seek to be loved so much as to love...
For it is in giving that we receive.

Prayer of St. Francis

Blessed, happy, filled with the riches of Christ are the poor in spirit.
Blessed, happy, joyful are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed, happy, joyful are the meek, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed, enviably happy, filled with the riches of Christ with the joy and
contentment
of a satisfied eternal life are those who make and maintain God's Peace in Us.
For they shall be called God's Son.

Jesus Christ
