Each Sunday, we are concluding our Eucharistic celebration with a prayer for peace. Here is our prayer for Sunday, December 13, 2015, Guadete Sunday.
God of
mercy,
through your
son Jesus Christ,
you
teach us to love one another,
to love
our neighbors as ourselves,
to love
our enemies.
In a
time of violence, fear, and terrorism
we ask
for the the peace of Christ rule in our hearts,
so that
we may not be overcome with evil
but that
we may overcome evil with good.
Help all
of us to live in the light and love and grace
that
Christ brings to our world.
Awaken
us to the coming of Christ into our world.
Establish
among us a future where peace reigns,
where justice
is done with mercy,
where
brothers and sisters are reconciled,
where
violent hearts are converted.
In the
name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
AMEN.
