Prayers for Peace in the Middle East

[Seven77]

[b]Prayer for Peace[/b]
Pope John Paul II

Lord Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often said, "Peace to you," grant us peace. Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love. Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace. Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace. May all peoples on the earth become as brothers and sisters. May longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all.

Amen


[b]Prayer for the Salvation of the World[/b]

Father, hear our prayers for the salvation of the world. Grant Mercy to all souls that turned away from you. Open their hearts and minds with Your light.

Gather your children from the east and the west, from the north and the south. Have mercy O God on those who do not know You. Bring them out of darkness into your light. You are our saving God who leads us in our salvation. Protect us from evil.

Bless and praise You O Lord, hear our prayers and answer us. You, our Savior, are the hope of all the ends of the Earth and the distant seas. May Your way be known upon Earth; among all nations Your salvation.

We put the world in Your hands; fill us with Your love. Grant us peace through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.


[b]Our Lady of All Nations[/b]

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Holy Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all Nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate!
Amen.

[size=3][i]In Amsterdam from the years 1945 to 1959, Ida Peerderman received messages from the Blessed Mother. In these messages, Mary told Ida that she wants to be addressed "in these our times" as "The Lady Of All Nations." Her request was granted on 31 May 1996.

Mary also identified that she wished to officially called "Coredemptix, Mediatrix and Advocate," with the promise that "The Lady of All Nations will then grant peace, true peace, to the world."

Mary appeared standing before her Son's Cross, to which she is so inseparably and painfully united and she gave the above prayer to the visionary. From Mary's open hands the three rays of "grace, redemption and peace" stream down upon all nations. These gifts emerge from the Cross of Christ, and she promises to grant them to everyone who says this prayer daily before a crucifix or this image. The meaning of "who once was Mary" is explained by the Lady of All nations herself: "...many people have known Mary as Mary. Now however, in this new era, which is about to begin, I wish to be the Lady of All Nations. Everyone understands this." July 2, 1951 [/i][/size]


[b]Fatima Penance Prayer[/b]

O My Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
[Said when offering up personal sacrifices, sufferings and penance.]


Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

O Most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein You are my Mother.
O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand Your power.

O show me herein You are my Mother. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. (3x)

Sweet Mother, I place this cause in Your hands. (3x)


Prayer to St. Charbel[/b]

Lord, infinitely Holy and Glorified in Your Saints,
You have inspired Charbel, the saint monk,
to lead the perfect life of a hermit.
We thank You for granting him the blessing
and the strength to detach himself from the world
so that the heroism of the monastic virtues of poverty,
obedience, and chastity,
could triumph in his hermitage.
We beseech You to grant us the grace of loving and serving You,
following his example.
Almighty God, Who has manifested
the power of St. Charbel's intercession
through his countless miracles and favours,
grant us...

(State your intention(s) here...)

through his intercession.

Amen.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
