Prayer for Peace
- Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be known as the Children of God.
- But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,
- pray for those who abuse you. To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also,
- and from those who take away your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well. Give to everyone who begs from you,
- and of those who take away your goods, do not ask them again. And as your wish that other would do to you, do so to them.
