    The UMW Women of Worcester, N.Y. are praying 
for Peace. We hope our Love of God might reach 
around the World into the hearts of all Brothers 
and Sisters that someday we might all live in 
harmony.

Creator of all that's good, I pray for my brother-
in-law, an army surgeon in Baghdad, and the 
horrors he must see on a daily basis.  Protect 
him.  I pray for all our military, who are mostly 
the youth of our country, and their families that 
remain here.  Comfort them.  I pray for those in 
Iraq who are suffering.  Please relieve them.  
And I pray that your peace may come to both 
sides, that guns may be put down, and that the 
humanity of all may truly be addressed so that we 
begin to understand that we're all your children.

Dear God,

I pray for peace today as a 6th grade girl living 
comfortably with my family here in the United 
States.  I pray for peace because I know that 
there are more places of war in the world than 
there are places of peace.  I think we need to 
pray and pray for peace until we hear only good 
things in the news.  Maybe then you'll hear all 
of us's desperate pleas for help.  So, dear God, 
I pray that the children everywhere could all get 
an education that they deserve.  Some kids have 
to stay home because schools are closed because 
of violence in the streets, like in Palestine and 
Israel. And now in Iraq, the children have very 
little to do and they cannot go to school because 
of all the fighting going on.  
I've been learning that some kids here in this 
country can't go to school because their parents 
need a babysitter so they could go to work.  Some 
kids get in trouble with drugs and weapons and 
they get put in jail.  I think if we had more 
peace in our neighborhoods these kids would not 
be in jail.  They would be in school. So God, 
please help all of us to be peace seekers and not 
war mongers.  Help us to know what we have to do 
to have peace everywhere.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Most merciful Father, in a world full of hate, 
vengeance, moral decline, and lack of respect 
for all of life, there is a bright shining hope 
in your Son, Christ Jesus. Through His death and 
resurrection, He overpowered the darkness and 
despair produced by the great deceiver. I have a 
firm belief in prayer and its power. You have 
blessed America in a mighty way and allowed our 
great nation to bring hope to many. As I pray 
for our great nation and for the protection of 
our fighting force, I also pray for peace, 
knowing that you are able to bring this to pass. 
Maranatha!
