Prayer of Intercession
- For all those caught in the civil unrest and tensions in Cuba, Haiti and South Africa.
We give thanks to You, heavenly Father, that You rule over and govern all the nations of this world. In Your mercy bring to a just and peaceful end the violence, discord, and conflict that is currently raging in Cuba, Haiti, and South Africa. Bring comfort to the injured and the distressed. Grant that all may live together in unity and peace, and let all hatred and ill-will be at an end. Bless the proclamation of Your Word of peace in the midst of these turmoils that more and more people may come to know Him who alone is the Prince of Peace and the only source of true harmony and eternal peace; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
