Oración por la Paz Monterrey México2010

Prayer for Peace

"Señor Jesús, tú eres
nuestra paz.
Mira nuestra patria dañada
por la violencia y
dispersa por el miedo y la
inseguridad.
Consuela el dolor de
quienes sufren.
Da acierto a las decisiones
de quienes gobiernan.
Toca el corazón de quienes
olvidan que somos
hermanos y provocan
sufrimiento y muerte.
Dales el don de la
conversión. Protege a las
familias, a nuestros niños,
adolescentes y jóvenes,
a nuestros pueblos
y comunidades.
Que como discípulos
misioneros tuyos, ciudadanos
responsables, sepamos
ser promotores de justicia y de paz,
para que en ti nuestro
pueblo tenga vida digna. Amén".
María Reyna de la Paz Ruega por nosotros.
