A Prayer of Remembrance and Hope

Lord of Peace, on this day we remember with gratitude

those who gave their lives, with compassion those who still carry the scars,

and with longing for a world where war is no more.

Teach us to walk the way of peace in our homes, our communities and our nations.

Turn our remembrance into resolve, our silence into service and our sorrow into hope.

Prince of Peace, heal our hearts, renew our world, and lead us to the day when your peace will reign forever.

Amen.
