 Taken from The Eucharistic Prayer For Masses of Reconciliation
 
 Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
 we praise and thank you through Jesus Christ our Lord
 for your presence and action in the world.
 
 In the midst of conflict and division,
 we know it is you
 who turns our minds to thoughts of peace.
 Your Spirit changes our hearts;
 enemies begin to speak to one another,
 those who were estranged join hands in friendship,
 and nations seek the way of peace together.
 
 Your Spirit is at work
 when understanding puts an end to strife,
 when hatred is quenched by mercy,
 and vengeance gives way to forgiveness.
 
 For this we should never cease
 to thank and praise you.
 
 ...
 
 (And) In that new world where the fullness of your peace will be revealed,
 gather people of every age, race, creed, language, and way of life
 to share in the one eternal banquet
 
 with Jesus Christ the Lord.
