Prayer

Gracious and loving God, 

The cross of Christ is the sign  of your desire for justice and peace for all.  

Open our minds to your vision as we remember all who suffered  through Australia and New Zealand’s involvement  in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. 

Grant all servicepersons  who sacrificed health and life for the good of all, the gift of your deep peace. 

May we who inherit the freedom for which they fought become instruments of your peace in our homes, workplaces and world.  

We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord. 

Amen
