O Holy One, the sights and sounds of war cannot be missed and yet your call to peace also echoes in our heads and hearts.
As we approach the season of new life with hope, may we continue to lift up those leaders who can bring about peace. We ask your mercy and grace for those in war’s path. We give thanks for those who provide glimmers of lovingkindness in the face of death and loss and destruction. May we all walk in the light of your love today and every day. We pray all this, Almighty God. Amen.
