Prayer for Peace in Syria
On Sunday after the recitation of the Angelus, Pope
Francis renewed his call for peace in Syria: “From the bottom of my heart, I
would like to express my closeness in prayer and solidarity with all the
victims of this conflict, with all those who suffer, especially children, and I
invite you to keep alive the hope of peace. I appeal to the international
community to be more sensitive to this tragic situation and make every effort
to help the beloved Syrian nation find a solution to a war that sows
destruction and death.”
“Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!”
O God of peace, who are peace itself
and whom a spirit of discord cannot grasp,
nor a violent mind receive,
grant that those who are one in heart
may persevere in what is good
and that those in conflict
may forget evil and so be healed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
