A Grace for Memorial Day
May 28, 2007
God of peace,
We recall today the words of Jesus,
“Blessed are the peacemakers,
they shall be called the sons and daughters of God.”
As we remember all who have died because of war,
Inspire the leaders of all nations
To turn away from war and work for peace.
Help us also to live in peace with one another,
And with peoples of every nation, race and creed.
Bless this food we share
As we celebrate this day with our family and friends.
Amen
(From Let’s Say Grace by Robert Hamma)
However you plan to celebrate - playfully, prayerfully, patriotically - I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day!
