Dove of Peace.

Pray these prayers asking God that peace will be established throughout the entire world and violence will be brought to an end.

When witnessing the increase in violence in the world, among our first actions should be to commit ourselves to praying for peace.

True and lasting peace can only be established with the help of God, as too often our own efforts fail. When we try to create peace without God, it is a peace without a firm foundation.

Here are several prayers for peace that can inspire us and call upon God's help to end the violence all over the world.

John Paul II’s prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace

St. John XXIII's Prayer for Peace
