Pope John Paul II
O God, Creator of the universe, who
extends your paternal concern over every creature and guides the events
of history to goals of salvations, we acknowledge your Fatherly love
when you break the resistance of mankind and, in a world torn by strife
and discord, you make us ready for reconciliation. Renew for us the
wonders of your MERCY; send forth your Spirit that He may work in the
intimacy of hearts, that enemies may begin to dialogue, that
adversaries may shake hands and peoples may encounter one another in
harmony. May all commit themselves to the sincere search for true peace
which will extinguish all arguments, for charity which overcomes hatred,
for pardon which disarms revenge.
Novena
for Peace to Our Lady of Sorrows
