Prayer for Peace

Lighting the Candle of Peace

Colossians 3: 12-15

• Leader: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
• People: Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
• Leader: Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
• People: And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
• All: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Disciples’ Generous Response

“God’s generous compassion is limitless. As we open our hearts to courageously and generously share our monies, we join the movement of God’s compassion in the world. God shares abundantly, we share faithfully, others share generously and God’s love and compassion grow endlessly.”
