Up to March 2012
January
In this first month of the year,
Lord of Light – shine on us;
Lord of peace – live in us;
Lord of power – help us;
Lord of love – enfold us;
Lord of wisdom – enlighten us
Then, Lord
Let us be your witnesses;
Let us be obedient to your will;
Let us follow a path to unity;
Let us seek peace in our troubled world;
So that there may be a new creation,
One body in you
That the world may believe.
Amen
February
Keep us in peace,
O Christ our God;
Save us from all that may harm us,
Visible and invisible;
Make us worthy of your love and compassion;
Fill our hearts with thanksgiving
for all that you have done for us;
Guide us as the days pass
with the gift of your Holy Spirit.
The love of God,
The peace of God,
The warmth of God,
The Surprise of God,
The Completeness of God,
Be among us and within us
Now and for ever,
Amen
March
Lord,
Help us this Lent
To understand more of your love for us;
To deepen our knowledge of you;
To share the message of the Gospel;
To find unity among our Churches;
To worship you with praise and thanksgiving.
Amen
Peace on Earth by Pope John XXIII:
"May He banish from the hearts of all men and women whatever might endanger peace.
May He transform them into witnesses of truth, justice and love.
May He enkindle the rulers of peoples so that in addition to their solicitude for the proper welfare of their citizens, they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace.
May He enkindle the wills of all so that they may over-come the barriers that divide, cherish the bonds of mutual charity, understand others, and pardon those who have done them wrong.
May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters, and may the most longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always among men and women."
