Prayer for Peace in Syria
Thursday, September 5, 2013

Mary, Queen of Mercy

We pray for peace in Syria.
May weapons be silenced.
May combatants lay down their arms.
May there be an end to all violence.
All of us united pray with the Holy Father.
Mary, Queen of Mercy, pray for Syria

Novena Prayer

God of Compassion, hear our prayers as we pray with Our Mother Mary, Queen of Mercy
Hear the cries of the people of Syria
Comfort those who suffer violence
Console those who mourn the dead
Give strength to Syria’s neighboring countries
To welcome the refugees.  Convert the hearts of those who have
taken up arms and protect those who are committed to peace.

God of hope,  hear our prayers as we pray with Our Mother Mary, Queen of Mercy
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with
their enemies
Inflame the Universal Church with compassion for the people of Syria
And give us hope for a future built on justice for all
We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and Light of the world.

 
Amen
