Prayer for peace
O Saviour, save us from the clutches of rogues,
O God, help us to fight fraud.
O Guardian, guide us to uproot cruelty;
O Leader, lead us to banish barbarity.
O Creator, aid us to salvage society,
Stand by us to face any ferocity. Would you help us establish a community?
Where there is no corruption but serenity?
Could you give us a leader of great heart?
He who means to secure life?
We wait, Lord, to welcome that ruler.
Give us forbearance to be his followers.
If evil doers confess their guilt
Can you not forgive them, O Almighty?
