PRAYER FOR PEACE
God of many names
lover of all peoples;
we pray for peace in our nations
and in our world.
We pray for all who have the awesome responsibility
of power and decision-making.
We pray for the innocent victims of violence and war.
Lead us and all the peoples of the world
from death to life, from falsehood to truth.
Lead us from despair to hope, from fear to trust.
Lead us from hate to love, from war to peace.
Let peace with justice fill our hearts,
our world,
our universe.

Hospitality is about a relationship – one cannot be hospitable without guests.” This is exactly what Abraham and Sarah found out in their lives when into their tent walked three guests. And one of the guests was the, “Lord of heaven and earth.” But I want to share with you the rest of Matthew Fox’s profound quotation: “God not only plays the host for us and becomes the banquet for us; God also has become guest for us. This is the deepest meaning of the incarnation, that God let go of hosting long enough to become guest as well.
Matthew Fox
