Today’s Reflection: Let us pray for all who suffer as a result of conflict, and ask that God may give us peace: For the service men and women who have died in the violence of war, each one remembered by and known to God; may God give peace. Response: God give peace.
For those who love them in death as in life, offering the distress of our grief and the sadness of our loss; may God give peace. Response: God give peace.
For all members of the armed forces who are in danger this day, remembering family, friends and all who pray for their safe return; may God give peace. Response: God give peace.
For civilian women, children and men whose lives are disfigured by war or terror, calling to mind in penitence the anger and hatreds of humanity; may God give peace. Response: God give peace.
For peacemakers and peacekeepers, who seek to keep this world secure and free; may God give peace. Response: God give peace.
For all who bear the burden and privilege of leadership, political, military and religious; asking for gifts of wisdom and resolve in the search for reconciliation and peace; may God give peace. Response: God give peace. — from Prayer for Remembrance Day.
