Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us.
All holy angels and archangels,
Pray for us.
All disciples, apostles and evangelists,
Pray for us.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;

We lift our voice in prayer for peace in our world.
Amid conflicts and unrest, we ask for Your intervention and guidance.
You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask that
Your peace would transcend borders and boundaries,
permeating every nation, community, and heart.

Spring is a metaphor for change. Some changes we eagerly await, and some we abhor. Some
changes we plan and others arrive uninvited. To all these changes we ask the gift of Your
perspective beckoning us to expectation, hope, and rebirth.
