Almighty ever-living God,
in Whose hand lies every human heart
and the rights of peoples,
look with favor, we pray,
on those who govern with authority over us,
that throughout the whole world
the prosperity of peoples,
the assurance of peace,
and freedom of religion
may through Your gift be made secure.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

that peacemakers are to be called Your children,

that we may work without ceasing
to establish that justice
which alone ensures true and lasting peace.
