Episcopal Peace Fellowship-Maine Chapter Prayer
Almighty God, You have bidden us to carry in your Name the sword of the Spirit;
you have made us messengers of peace in a world of strife,
and messengers of strife where false peace prevails;
Make strong our hand, make clear our voice,
give us humility with firmness, and insight with passion;
that we may fight not to conquer but to redeem,
following the example of your blessed Son, the Savior of the world. Amen.
by The Rev. Richard Bamforth
