Dear Bros and Sis,
There was a suggestion from Abraham Joseph to
include a theme which our Pope John Paul II spoke of
in his address for the Celebration of the World Day of
Peace 1 Jan 2002. It speaks about "NO PEACE WITHOUT
JUSTICE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT FORGIVENESS". I have
included the same point in the prayer now. We will be
bringing this prayer at the Saturday Night Vigil at
Renewal Retreat Center here in Bangalore. So we will
have nearly 100 youngsters supporting us that night.
Besides, the same will be posted to the Night Vigil
E-group. Please network and garner maximum support for
the prayer initiative as this is indeed a "Clear And
Present Danger". Do not hesitate to forward this
prayer to all the people in your Address Book and ask
them to do the same.
Love and Prayers
Sanju
So here it goes again.

Prayer for World Peace
---------------------------------------------------
In the Name of the Father and Of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit Amen.
Lord and heavenly Father we offer into your Holy
Hands this beautiful world you had created for us. The
world you loved so much, that you gave your only Son
our Lord Jesus Christ so that "every human" will be
saved. The world you created so beautifully and
carefully so that we may live in harmony and peace. We
your children cry out to you Heavenly Father, for
peace and protection in this beautiful world with its
diverse race, religions and ethnic backgrounds. Save
this world Heavenly Father from all catastrophic
devastation fought by human beings against one
another. O Lord of every continent, every nation and
every life on earth we call on Your most Holy Name to
redeem the whole creation with Your Mighty Hand. Send
your legions of peace angels led by St. Michael the
Arch Angel to all the strife torn areas in this world.
Demonstrate your power by bringing healing and peace,
where hate , pride and arrogance divide your people;
where bitter threats are hurled between world leaders
and where your children take to terrorism and wars to
solve mutual problems. Lord we bring to you every
world leader, every organisation striving for peace
and for war; and claim the precious blood of your son
Lord Jesus Christ over them. Let the stubborn minds
melt and let the stiff legs bend down before Your
Majesty. Change their minds , Change their attitudes
and Change their intentions Lord. We bind, defuse and
send to the foot of the Cross in Calvary every weapon
formed by the devil against your children and this
world. We come against all chemical, neuclear,
biological and other lethal weapons formed by wicked
minds; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We
bind all proud thoughts and actions by world leaders
and people by the wounds of Lord Jesus Christ. Restore
in our hearts the vision of peace, joy and unity in
the world. We cry out "Victory in the name of Jesus
Christ" ; the name to which all powers, principalities
and dominions in heaven, earth and hell are humbly
submissive.
We dedicate all continents into your most holy
hands. We bring in a special way the threat of another
war in the Middle East region. We pray for a
root-cause healing of all the problems there. May all
resentment and revenge be replaced by Love and
Forgiveness . May Human Justice be replaced by Divine
Justice through Forgiveness. Bless the nations with
the grace of Forgiveness, so as to heal and rebuild
troubled human relations from their foundations. And
May Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and every
religion, race and creed in this world cry out "Holy,
Holy" in one voice to you the El Shadai, the Adonai.
We all unite together with every soul and saint
in heaven as we pray and dedicate this world and each
one of us to the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the
sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with
the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the
power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin: individual
sin and the "sin of the world," sin in all its
manifestations. Let there be revealed once more in the
history of the world the infinite saving power of the
redemption: the power of merciful love. May it put a
stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your
Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope and
peace.
We invoke the army of all heavenly Angels, Arch
Angels and Saints to powerfully intervene, intercede
and to protect this world from the darts of the evil
one.
St. Michael the Arch Angel defend this world and
pray for us.
Sts. Paul and Peter defend this world and pray for
us.
St. George defend this world and pray for us.
All the Angels and Saints bring peace to the
World.
Jesus Son of David Have Mercy On Us (3 times)
Our Father, Hail Mary , Glory Be.
