Prayer for peace in Syria
God of Compassion,
Hear the cries of the people of Syria,
Bring healing to those suffering from the
violence,
Bring comfort to those mourning the dead,
Strengthen Syria’s neighbours in their care and
welcome for refugees,
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up
arms,
And protect those committed to peace.
God of Hope,
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence
and to seek reconciliation with enemies,
Inspire the Church around the world with
compassion for the people of Syria,
And give us hope for a future of peace built on
justice for all.
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace and Light of the World,
Amen.
Our Lady of Guadeloupe - we pray for peace in Syria and the Middle-East
Petition: For the people of Syria, that God may strengthen the resolve of leaders to end the fighting and choose a future of peace.
We pray to the Lord…
