Today in our prayers for the people of Portugal.

Prayer for Peace

Barbara and Richard Howard

Come be reconciled, my people,
In my body you are healed.
I am with you is my promise,
In my love am I revealed.
Let my spirit gently lead you,
Let my mercy all embrace;
To a world that yearns for freedom,
Give compassion; trust my grace.

May the Temple rise in beauty—
Shining symbol of my love.
To a world of war and anguish
May my peace come as a dove.
Let my Spirit move among you
Freeing you from hate and fear,
Healing wounds with love's anointing,
Bringing peace and justice near.
