A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Written by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem – Cardinal PierBattista Pizzabella
O most glorious Mother of God,
raised above the choirs of angels,
pray for us with St. Michael the Archangel
and with all the angelic powers of heaven
and with all the saints,
to your most holy
and beloved Son, Our Lord and master.
Obtain for this Holy Land,
for all his children
and for all humanity
the gift of reconciliation and peace.
May your prophecy be fulfilled:
the proud are scattered
in the imaginations of their hearts;
the mighty are overthrown from their thrones,
and finally, the humble are raised;
Let the hungry be filled with good things,
the peaceful be recognized as children of God
and that the meek may receive the earth as a gift.
May Jesus Christ, your Son, grant us this,
He who exalted you today
above the choirs of angels,
who crowned you with the diadem of the kingdom,
and has placed you on the throne of eternal splendour
To him be honour and glory forever. Amen.
