Deep peace, a soft white dove to You;
Deep peace, a quiet rain.
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you,
Deep peace, pure white of the moon.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you,
Deep peace from the Son of Peace.
Deep peace from the heart of Mary to you,
And from Briget of the Mantle
Deep peace, deep peace!
And with the kindness of the Father
Peace!
In the name of the Three who are One,
Peace! Peace! Peace!

Deep peace of the Christ to you,
Of Christ the light of the world.

Gaelic Blessing by Fiona MacLeold (Adapted)

Prayers for peace

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

It there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.

― Lao-tse

Prayers for peace

We, Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers,
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud.
Peace.

We look at our world and speak the word aloud.
Peace.

We look at each other, then into ourselves,
And we say without shyness or apology or hesitation:

Peace, My Brother.
Peace, My Sister.
Peace, My Soul

~Maya Angelou
