Instrument of your Peace

 Offered by Sylvia Baghoumian

22 October 2025

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

-St. Francis of Assisi 

For World Peace

offered by Maria Hamparian

October 15, 2025

Dear Heavenly Father, you created the amazing world that we live in, but human hatred and evil have destroyed the peace you intended. Countries are at war, while citizens are tormented and living in desolation. People hate who they are taught to hate. Your beautiful world is in turmoil and only you can bring the peace we need. World peace feels impossible, but nothing is impossible for you. Breathe the peace of the Holy Spirit into the hearts of world leaders. Open the eyes of lawmakers and government officials to see you in the face of others. Guide them to create laws that value human life and to see the benefit of all nations to coexist in peace. I know world peace is possible in the name of your son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our Father

Offered by Ripsik Hakopian

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation.
but deliver us from the evil one.

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Lord, help me to slow down.
Be with me when I feel consumed and overwhelmed with all that is before me. Calm me when I am having feelings of frustration and moments of weakness. I give these to you, Lord.

Protect me from myself and my tendency to become impatient. Help me to slow down so that I may see my life through your eyes. FOr I know all of these challenges are actually my biggest blessings!

Help me to trust in Your vision and may that trust replace the worry in my heart and mind. Give me the energy, persistence, and courage to persever so that I may continue to live according to Your teachings and act according to Your Will.
Amen.

Excerpt from the 2025 Inaguration Prayer offered by Bishop Mariann Budde, Washington DC
O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
May God grant us all the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, speak the truth in love, and walk humbly with one another and our God, for the good of all the people of this nation and the world.
