| A Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace That where there is hatred I may bring love, That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness, That where there is discord I may bring harmony, That where there is error I may bring truth, That where there is doubt I may bring faith, That where there is despair I may bring hope, That where there is sadness I may bring joy, That where there are shadows I may bring Thy Light. Shanti! Shanti! Shanti! May there be peace in heaven, may there be peace in the skies, May there be peace on earth, may there be peace in the waters, May there be peace in the plants, may there be peace in the trees, May we find peace in all the diving powers, may we find peace in the supreme Lord, May we all be in peace, may that peace be mine. Peace! Peace! Peace! Prayer for Peace From The Hindu Vedas Hindu Peace Prayer I desire neither earthly kingdom, nor even freedom from birth and death. I desire only the deliverance from grief of all those afflicted by misery. Oh Lord, lead us from the unreal to the real; from darkness to light; from death to immortality. 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 and plants bring peace to all. May all beneficent beings bring peace to us. May thy wisdom spread peace all through the world. May all things be a source of peace to all and to me. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Peace, Peace, Peace). Sikh Prayer for Peace You are our Lord and Master To you, I offer this prayer. This body and soul are all Your property. You are our mother and father; we are Your children. In Your grace, there are so many joys! No one knows Your limits, O Highest of the High, Most Generous God, the whole creation is strung on Your thread. That which has come from You is under Your Command. You alone know Your state and extent. Nanak, your slave, is forever a sacrifice. -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Celtic Peace Prayer from Antiquity Deep Peace of the running wave to you Deep Peace of the flowing air to you Deep Peace of the quiet earth to you Deep Peace of the shining stars to you Deep peace of the shades of night to you Moon and stars always giving Light to you. -unknown |
| Bahai Peace Prayer
Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity. Be fair in thy 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 Peace Prayer 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. Peace Mantra (From the Kato Upanishad) Together may we be protected Together may we be nourished Together may we work with great energy May our journey together be brilliant and effective May there be no bad feelings between us Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om Peace, peace, peace If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If 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. Chinese Philosopher - Lao-Tse - 6th century bce I am one with my father and the universe. I am one with mother earth. I am one with everyone within the reach of my voice. And, in this togetherness, we ask the divine intelligence to eradicate all negatives from our hearts, from our minds, from our words, and from our actions. And, so be it. -Babatunde Olatunji - 1927-2003 The Dove of Peace flies from site to site, through as many countries as possible.
