A Collect for Peace

God of glory, whom the whole host of heaven praises night and day, bring peace on earth. Let violence be ended and malice be soothed in the hearts of all peoples that we might live in quiet and comfort without fear of danger and threat, walking in love toward one another as you have shown us, through Jesus Christ our Savior, born to show us the way to you and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

'And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!"' - Luke 2:13-14
