Father,
We remember times of war and conflict,
We remember those who have left us,
Keep those thoughts with us,
Keep close the love that you give to each and every one of us,
Heal those who are sick and strengthen those who are weak,
Help those who are trying to keep peace in the world and,
Help those who are trying to find the peace.
Lord in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.

by Daniel Lewis (Oxford, UK: 2007)
