1001

The U.S. Body count has surpassed the 1000 mark.

The last count I saw was 350+ people murdered in Russia.

The Iraqi body count is 11,000+ .

My Peace Prayer

In the name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Father, Creator
See you children crying
How many times have there been
Mothers weeping over their lost children
How many times have there been
Fathers cursing your name
How many times have there been
Brothers and Sisters burying their kin

Father, Creator
Let your grace be felt
Let your peace be felt
Let your hand be felt

Christ the Redeemer
You came and saw our flawed world
You came and felt our flawed world
You came and were murdered by our flawed world
You came and conquered death and defeated our flawed world

Christ the Redeemer
Through your power may we conquer the grief
Through your power may we conquer the sorrow
Through your power may we conquer earthly death
And know heaven's grace

Holy Spirit the Guide
You who touched the tongues of the Apostles
You who built the Church on earth
You who touch our lives each day
You who lead us through the wilderness

Holy Spirit the Guide
Guide us now
Lead us now
Touch our tongues that we
May speak your word
Fill us with the words of peace
Fill us with the words of comfort
Fill us with compassion
Fill us with grace

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Be with us, sinners, now and forever

Amen
