Lord, we ask you to enlighten those responsible for resolving conflicts between nations and social groups, so that they may use means that do not cause destruction and death. Strengthen those who fight so that they respect civilians and do not destroy themselves psychologically. Accompany those who fight, encourage them in their frustrations, support them in their pain, and make them sensitive to friends and enemies. Help those who care for the injured, so that they may bring comfort to the wounded and your peace to the dying. Comfort and show your providence to orphaned children and widowed women. Impel all of us—young, old, and children—to work together so that peace may reign. Amen.
The above prayer is taken from "La Biblia Católica para Jóvenes".
