The Body of Christ
the gift of peace
O Christ, whose body was broken for the peace of the world, give
your patient and compassionate Spirit
to all who pray and work for peace;
and the courage to reject
all symbols and semblances of power
in the pursuit of unity and reconciliation,
following in the way of your own suffering and weakness. Amen.
