Today’s Reflection:  Litany of Peace

One:     God, so many people are in pain.

All:       Teach us the way to peace.

One:     When people around us don’t agree and think differently,

All:       Teach us to listen and try to understand.

One:     When we see people getting hurt,

All:       Teach us to speak up.

One:     When we see people treated poorly because of their skin color, or language, or religious belief,

All:       Teach us to be an example of love and acceptance.

One:     When we see war and conflict,

All:       Teach us how to make a difference and seek peace.

One:     When we see pain,

All:       Teach us to bring healing,

One:     When we feel confused and afraid,

All:       Remind us to talk to our friends, our family and to you.

One:     In our lives, our neighborhoods and the world,

All:       Teach us to pray and teach us the way of peace.
