Eternal
God, send peace on Earth and by thy grace, put down the arrogance, prejudice and greed that turns man against man and
nation against nation. Speed the day when wars are ended and that all men call
thee Father. Turn all people unto thee, that following the holy example and
united in thy service, they may become one brotherhood, and that thy peace may
possess every heart and rule in all nations of the world through Jesus Christ
thy Son. Amen.
