Almighty God and Creator,

You are the Father of all people on the earth. Guide, we pray, all the nations and their leaders in the ways of justice and peace. Protect us from the evils of injustice, prejudice, exploitation, conflict, and war. 

Help us to put away mistrust, bitterness, and hatred. Teach us to cease the storing and using of implements of war. Lead us to find peace, respect, and freedom in Ukraine and in other theatres of war. 

Unite us in the making and sharing of tools of peace against ignorance, poverty, disease, and oppression. 

Grant that we may grow in harmony and friendship as brothers and sisters created in Your image, to Your honour and praise. 

In the name of Christ,

Amen.
