Light a candle, as a visible sign of the light of Christ, who is the light of the
world.
Take a deep breath. Feel the breath of God that has given you life.
Centre yourself and pray…
Our Father, We humbly come before You, seeking peace in a world marred by violence.
Heal the hearts of those who are hurt and guide us towards understanding and compassion.
May Your love dispel hatred and bring unity among all people.
Grant strength to those who work for justice, and let Your light shine in the darkest places.
Amen.
