My dear Siblings in Christ Jesus,
In a time of war, fear, and violence, Disciples of Christ Jesus are called to gather, to pray, and to be witnesses of love in a world that has forgotten how to love. We cry for peace with justice.
I will be the celebrant and preacher at a special Liturgy for Peace with Holy Eucharist at noon, Wednesday, June 25, 2025, in the Cathedral of St. Andrew. I hope you can join us in prayer at that time.
If you cannot physically make it to the Cathedral, please consciously pause at noon on Wednesday and say a prayer for peace.
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
Almighty God our heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Again, if you cannot join me at the Cathedral on Wednesday, please pause at noon with me in prayer.
