Novena for Peace

Our novena for Peace around the world starts on the 24 February 2023 and can be prayed over the next nine days. You can pray the novena in private, with your friends or family, or in a group:

Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations.

Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all the children who suffer, when people put their faith in weapons and war.

Hear my voice, when I beg you to instil into the hearts of all human beings, the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship.

Hear my voice, for I speak for the multitudes in every country and in every period of history, who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace.

Hear my voice, and grant insight and strength, so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice, to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace.

O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world Your everlasting peace. Amen.

Make your special request now.

Saint Francis, Patron Saint of Peace pray for us; Saint Jude, saint of Hope, pray for us.
