- Prayer for Justice and Peace, from the Roman Missal:
O God, who have revealed that peacemakers are to be called your children, grant, we pray,
that we may work without ceasing to establish that justice which alone ensures true and lasting peace.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
