PRAYER FOR PEACE BY POPE PIUS XII

                         Almighty and eternal God.
                          May your grace enkindle in all of us
                          a love for the many unfortunate people
                          whom poverty and misery
                          reduce to a condition of life
                          unworthy of human beings.

                         Arouse in the hearts
                          of those who call you Father
                          a hunger and thirst for social justice
                          and for fraternal charity
                          in deeds and in truth.

                         Grant, O Lord,
                          peace in our days,
                          peace to souls,
                          peace to families,
                          peace to our country,
                          and peace among nations.

                         Amen.

                                      Pope Pius XII



                Mary, Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for us!
