We pray for ALL who are subject to acts of violence, O LORD,
that they may be restored to soundness of body, mind, and spirit to serve as models of faith and hope, that by their good example we can learn to resolve conflict without harm, anger, or hatred, respecting the sanctity of life, and affirming our common identity as children of a loving GOD, who would have us all care for one another: that peace and good will may find a home in our hearts as well as our lives; now and forever. AMEN.
Prayer by The Rev. Gregory Johnson – Diocese of Hawaii – December 2012.
