Peace Prayer to the Blessed Mother

The greatest gift of The Blessed Mother is Her Love.
It is incumbent upon us, Her children,
to act towards each other
as valued members of the same family.

Holy Mother hear our desires, teach us your wisdom.
Let there be peace of understanding;
Peace of a calming of angers; peace of wisdom,
Peace of a willingness not to seek vengeance.

Let there be peace because we owe it to the children,
Peace because we owe it to the seventh generation.
Peace because we owe it to the parents,
Peace because we owe it to our ancestors.

Let there be peace so that there may be art,
Peace so there may be farming.

Peace so there may be dancing,
Peace so that utterly different peoples may compare their ways with interest.
Let there be peace among humans
So that there may grow to be peace between humans and trees,
Peace between humans and all living creatures,
Peace between humans and the land.

Let there be peace so that our ingenuity may undo our damage,
Peace so that we may solve riddles.
Peace so that we may reach the stars,
Peace so we may reach our own souls.

Let there be lasting peace;
Peace among men and women.
Peace among adults and children.
Let us move aside from the dictates of domination.
Let there be true peace.

 

We ask in the name of your Son, Jesus, Prince of Peace.

Amen
