The Lord's Prayer

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from error.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory
forever.

Amen

The 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assissi

Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love; Where there is injury, your healing power,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope; Where there is darkness, - only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

O Spirit, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all that we receive,
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is!

James Dillet Freeman

The Prayer of Faith

God is my help in every need;
God does my every hunger feed;
God walks beside me, guides my way
Through every moment of the day.

I now am wise, Inow am true,
Patient and kind, and loving too.
All things I am, can do, and be,
Through Christ, the Truth that is in me.

God is my health, I can't be sick;
God is my strength, unfailing, quick;
God is my all, I know no fear,
Since God and love and Truth are here.

Hannah More Kohaus

The Peace Song

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The way it was meant to be.

With God as creator
Family all are we.
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me.
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my joyous vow:

To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

Jill Jackson

Mother Teresa's Prayer

Dear Lord and Great Healer.
I kneel before you.
Since every great gift must come from you, I pray:

Give skill to my hands,
Clear vision to my mind,
Kindness and meekness to my heart.

Give me singleness of purpose,
Strength to lift up part of the
burden of my suffering fellow men,
And a true realization of the privilege that is mine.

Take from my heart all guile and worldliness
That with the simple faith of a child,
I may rely on you.
