PACEM IN TERRIS

Dear Lord, may you banish from the hearts of men and women, whatever might endanger peace. May you transform each of us into witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love.May you enlighten the rulers of peoples so that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace.

PACEM IN TERRIS cont.

May you enkindle the wills of all, so that we may overcome the barriers that divide, cherish the bonds of mutual charity, understand others, and pardon those who have done us wrong.By virtue of your action, may all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters, and may the most longed-for peace blossom forth and reign forever.Amen.
