  There's a lot of pain, hurt and anger going on here at the moment.

  I bid you all peace

  D eep peace I breathe into you, O weariness, here: O ache, here! Deep peace, a soft white dove to You; Deep peace, a quiet rain to you; Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you! Deep peace, red wind of the east from you; Deep peace, grey wind of the west to You; Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you; Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you! Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you; Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you; Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you; Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you; Deep peace, pure grey of the dew to you, Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you! Deep peace of the running wave to you, Deep peace of the flowing air to you, Deep peace of the quiet earth to you, Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you! Deep peace of the Yellow Shepherd to you, Deep peace of the Wandering Shepherdess to you, Deep peace of the Flock of Stars to you, Deep peace from the Son of Peace to you, Deep peace from the heart of Mary to you, And from Briget of the Mantle Deep peace, deep peace! And with the kindness too of the Haughty Father Peace! In the name of the Three who are One, Peace! And by the will of the King of the Elements, Peace! Peace!

  Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
  Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
  Where there is injury, pardon
  Where there is doubt, faith,
  Where there is despair, hope,
  Where there is darkness, light,
  Where there is sadness, joy.
  O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
  seek to be consoled as to console,
  not so much to be understood as to understand,
  not so much to be loved, as to love;
  for it is in giving that we receive,
  it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
  it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

  We who are alive for a brief time
  turn our hearts to the Mystery of the Eternal
  Receive our tiny gratitude for this abundant banquet
  of sights and tastes and sounds of life
  Look with tender mercy on the harsh deceptions
  that we visit on ourselves and our neighbors
  Push us into the realm of awe in the face of true worth
  and push us into servanthood when suffering comes knocking
  Embrace the person who prays these incomplete words
  with the grace of your perfection and lead me into oneness with You.

  The Interfaith Peace Mantra is a compilation of eight words for PEACE from eight different languages used to represent the eight major streams of world religions: Primal Traditions, Paganism, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. The words are arranged in the chronological/historical order of the emergence of each of these faiths. The purpose and intent of this mantra is to nurture and amplify personal and collective peace.

  Sikh Prayer for Peace

  God adjudges us according

  to our deeds,

  not the coat that we wear:

  that truth is above everything,

  but higher still is truthful living.

  Know that we attaineth God when we loveth,

  and only that victory

  endures in consequences of which no

  one is defeated.

  Jainist Prayer for Peace

  Peace and Universal Love is the essence

  of the Gospel preached by all the

  Enlightened Ones.

  The Lord has preached that equanimity

  is the Dharma.

  Forgive do I creatures all,

  and let all creatures forgive me.

  Unto all have I amity, and unto none enmity.

  Know that violence is the root cause of

  all miseries in the world.

  Violence, in fact, is the knot of bondage.

  "Do not injure any living being."

  This is the eternal, perennial, and unalterable

  way of spiritual life.

  A weapon howsoever powerful it may be,

  can always be superseded by a superior one;

  but no weapon can, however,

  be superior to non-violence and love.

  A favorite from The Message Bible -

  The Aaronic Blessing

  22 -23 God spoke to Moses: "Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are to bless the People of Israel. Say to them,
  
  24 God bless you and keep you,
  
  25 God smile on you and gift you,
  
  26 God look you full in the face
  and make you prosper. 27 In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel—
  I will confirm it by blessing them."
