Pope Francis Shared:

We bow our heads,

Powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace in your tenderness all that exists that pours into us with the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with Peace that we may live as brothers and sisters, hurting no one. Oh God of the poor, may you help us rescue the abandoned and forgotten on this earth.

Bring Healing to our lives that we may protect the world, not pray on it. That we may see beauty and not pollution. Look at hearts of those who only seek gain at the expense of others and the poor on the earth. Teach us to discover the worth of each thing in awe and contemplation. Recognize that we are profoundly united with every creature, as we journey towards your infinite light.

Thank you for being with us today, we pray and encourage you for justice, love and peace. Amen.

Imagine – Lyrics by John Lennon

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
May Peace Prevail on Earth

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH

(Jill Jackson / Mark Miller)

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth

The peace that was meant to be.

With God as our father

Brothers all are we.

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now.

With every step i take

Let this be my solemn vow.

To take each moment

And live each moment

With peace eternally.

Let ther be peace on earth,

And let it begin with me.

(child)

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth

The peace that was meant to be.

With god as our father

Brothers all are we.

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now.

With every step I take

Let this be my solemn vow.

To take each moment

And live each moment

In peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.
