**********

Let us pray for all who suffer as a result of conflict,
and ask that God may give us peace :

- for the service men and women
who have died in the violence of war,
each one remembered by and known to God;

- for those who love them in death as in life,
offering the distress of our grief and the sadness of our loss;

- for all members of the armed forces who are in danger this day,
remembering family, friends and all prayed for their safe return;

- for civilian women, children and men
who lives are disfigured by war of terror,
calling to mind in penitence the anger and hatreds of humanity;

- for peace-makers and peace-keepers,
who seek to keep this world secure and free;

- for all who bear the burden and privilege of
leadership, political, military and religious;

- asking for gifts of wisdom and resolve in the search
for reconciliation and peace;

God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those whose memory we cherish,
and those whose names we will never know
help us to left our eyes above the torment
of this broken world and grant us the grace
to pray for those who wish us harm
as we honour the past
may we put our faith in your future
for you are the source of life and hope
now and forever.....
