Holy Mary, Mother of God

You brought the Peace of Jesus into our world

Hold us close

Be with us in our concern for the world all in our care

Teach us to ponder the experiences in our lives

And courageously weave them into bonds of peace as we face the divisions that exist in our families, societies and world

We pray the Peace of Christ be with us in this New Year.

Amen.

-Maryknoll Sister, Sr. Antoinette Gutzler
