Parish Life

The World Prays For Peace

In cathedral, synagogue, mosque, and temple

with loud voice or silent thought

some complex, some simple,

the world prays for peace.

Some kneel, some lay prostrate, some sway in trance.

Some beg, some cry, some just say “why?”, some sing,

some chant, some dance.

The world just prays for peace.

With colors flying in the air, incense blowing,

candles glowing, in vestments, costume, with flowers fair,

bells ringing, choirs singing.


In country wood, city street, river wide,

in fields and valleys, on the ocean, in the sky,

in jungle heat and desert bleak.


In buildings and all the places where we buy and sell

with TV, cell phone, internet, microwave, traffic jam as we

move about hoping all is well.


At my bedside in the deep of the night I take my fear inside

to

the chapel in my heart where my lord abides

and there I pray for the world that prays for peace.

young adult!) for a night of pizza, beer, wine, and conversa-tion about a theological topic of interest. For the first meet-

discussion, and we invite you to read/watch it before coming. Questions and curiosity are welcome, but the only thing you have to bring is a healthy appetite! Also, we welcome both singles and parents, and hope to have babysitters available
