Prayer for Peace

by Guest Contributor

The cries of the Poor and the Earth have resounded loudly during 2024 and we invite you to unite with Columban Missionaries in praying for peace. Ahead of our Feast Day on the 23rd November, we call upon St. Columban, our patron, to ask God for peace, unity and charity in a world of growing conflict, division and war.

Prayer for Peace

Heavenly Father,
Through the intercession of your servant Saint Columban,
we the friends and members of the Columban Community,
spread throughout the world, unite our prayer to his,
asking You for peace, unity and charity,
in a world of growing conflict, division and war.
In times of great peril, Columban was heard to pray,
“O God, come to my aid, O Lord, make haste to help me.”
We ask you, Father, through the merits of your Son, Jesus Christ,
to come to our aid today, through the Spirit, And grant us the gift of Peace.

Amen.
