St
Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred...let me sow love
Where there is injury...pardon
Where there is doubt...faith
Where there is despair...hope
Where there is darkness...light
Where there is sadness...joy
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled...as to console
To be understood...as to understand,
To be loved...as to love
For it is in giving...that we receive
It is in pardoning...that we are pardoned,
It is in dying...that we are born to eternal life.
Blessed are the Peacemakers
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
~ Matthew 5:3-10 - Jesus
Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the courage
to change
the things I can change,
the serenity
to accept those I cannot change,
and the wisdom to know the
difference.
But God, grant me the
courage
not to give up on what I
think is right,
even though I think
it is hopeless.
Footprints in the Sand - The Poem
One night a man had a dream.
He
dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the LORD.
Across
the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during
the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
~ by Mary Stevenson
the sacred prayers for peace
On October 27,
1986, spiritual leaders from each of the world's twelve major
religions came together for the first time in history, to share
their most sacred prayers for the "Day of World Peace," celebrated
in Assisi, Italy, in commemoration of the Unite Nations International
Year of Peace. The following are those prayers in alphabetical
order of the religion.
Baha'i Prayer for Peace
Be generous in prosperity,
and thankful in adversity.
Be
fair in judgement,
and guarded in thy speech,
Be a lamp unto
those who walk in darkness,
and a home to the stranger.
Be
eyes to the blind, and a guiding light
unto the feet of the erring
Be
a breath of life to the body of humankind,
a dew to the soil of
the human heart,
and a fruit upon the tree of humility.
Buddhist Prayer for Peace
May all beings everywhere plagued
with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending one another.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness –
the children, the age, the unprotected –
be guarded by beneficial celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood
Christian Prayer for
Peace
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be known as
the Children of God.
But I say to you that hear, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you
pray for those who abuse you.
To
those that strike you on the cheek,
offer the other one also,
and
from those who take away your cloak,
do not withhold your coat
as well.
Give to everyone who begs from you,
and of those who
take away your good,
do not ask for them again.
And as you
wish that others would do to you,
do so to them.
Hindu Prayer for Peace
Oh God, lead us from the
unreal to the Real.
Oh God, lead us from darkness to light.
Oh God, lead us from death to immortality.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all.
Oh Lord God almighty,
may there be peace in
celestial regions.
May there be peace on Earth.
May the waters be appeasing.
May herbs be wholesome, and may trees
plants bring peace to all.
May all beneficent
beings bring peace to us.
May thy Vedic Law propogate peace all
through the world.
May all things be a source of peace to us.
And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all
and may that peace come to me also.
Jainist Prayer for Peace
Peace and Universal Love is teh essence
of the Gospel
preached by all Enlightened Ones.
The Lord has preached that equanimity
is the Dharman.
Forgive do I creatures all, and let all creatures
forgive me.
Unto all have I amity, and unto none enmity.
Know
that violence is the root cause of all miseries in the world.
Violence,
in fact, is teh knot of bondage.
"Do not injure any living being."
This
is the eternal, perenial, and unalterable way of spiritual life.
A
weapon, howsoever powerful it may be,
can always be superseded
by a superior one;
but no weapon can, however, be superior to
nonviolence and love.
Jewish Prayer for Peace
Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
that we may walk the paths of the Most High.
And we shall beat our swords into plowshares,
and our spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation.
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
And none shall be afraid,
for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.
Muslim Prayer for Peace
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.
Praise be to the Lord of the Universe who has created us and
made us into tribes and nations
That we may know each other, not that we may despise each other.
If the enemy incline towards peace,
trust God, for the Lord is the one that beareth and knoweth all
things.
And the servants of God,
Most Gracious are those who walk on the Earth in Humility, and
when we
address them, we say "peace."
Native American Prayer for Peace I
Almighty God, the Great Thumb we cannot evade to tie any knot;
the all-seeing Lord up on high who sees even th e footprints of an
antelope on
a rock mass here on Earth.
You are the one who does not hesitate to respond to our call.
You are the cornerstore of peace.
You provide for us on this Earth.
Native American Prayer for Peace II
Oh Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you.
To your messengers the four winds,
and to Mother Earth who provides
for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to
be kind
to each other so that they may grow with peace of mind.
Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on
this Earth.
Shinto Prayer for Peace
Although the people living across the ocean
surrounding us,
I believeare all our brothers and sisters,
why are there constant troubles in this world?
Why do winds and waves rise in the oceans surrounding us?
I only earnestly wish that the wind will
soon puff away all the clouds which are
hanging over the tops of mouintains.
Sikh Prayer for Peace
God adjudges us according to our deeds,
not the coat that we wear:
that Truth is above everything,
but higher still is truthful living.
Know that we attaineth God when we loveth,
and only victory endures in consequences
of which no one is defeated.
Zoroastrian Prayer for Peace
We pray to God to eradicate all the misery in the world:
that understanding triumph over ignorance,
that generosity triumph over contempt, and
that truth triumph over falsehood.
