Prayer for peace - 4th Sunday in Advent

We have been praying for peace and a turning away from violence and oppression at our Sunday masses here at St James Catholic Church in Tupelo.  Here is the peace prayer we will be praying at the end of mass on the 4th Sunday in Advent.

 Make your ways known upon our earth, O Lord.
Make know your saving power amongst all peoples.
Renew your Church in holiness
and help us to serve you with joy.
Guide the leaders of all nations,
that justice may prevail throughout the world.
Let not the needy and oppressed be forgotten.
Let not our hope be taken away.
Change hearts that have been hardened
and that have turned to violence and hatred.
Make all of us instruments of peace
and let your glory be praised throughout the earth.
We ask this in the name of Jesus your son. 

Amen.
