Holy Peace-
As chaos churns in our world, our souls weigh heavy by tragedies in the news. As hate rages within our neighbors, we find it harder to permeate cold hearts with love.
But you, God, find ways to reach into our spirits, bringing light and love, transforming this world into your realm.
Heal our hearts made wounded by this world. May your tranquility find its way into our racing minds as we continue the search for hope.
Amen.
