• A Prayer for Peace in Ukraine

  Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength know but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen (BCP 815)
