Today in our prayers for the people of Saint Lucia.

Prayer for Peace

Eula Stoynoff

Our God and Creator,

We come humbly with thankful hearts, gratefully acknowledging your blessings and your love.

As we sit peacefully in the safety of this place, forgive us if we have become self-satisfied and indifferent to the sufferings and despair in our world.

Bring us back to the reality of purpose to become a people of peace, reaching out with love and compassion.

May this prayer be joined with those other prayers throughout the world, bringing people and nations together for peace.

As the flame of the peace candle brightly burns, so may the spirit of peace and love be rekindled in the hearts of all people seeking peace.

May your spirit continue to guide us to that “perfect peace,” we pray in the name of the prince of peace. Amen.
