Prayer

A Voice That Speaks of Peace

God of mercy,

help us to listen to your voice,

a voice that speaks of peace to all people.

Let the sound resonate within us,

until a whisper becomes a shout

which cannot be ignored.

Move us with your love,

so that our actions echo your peace,

and we may bring comfort

to those touched by conflict.

Fill us with your hope, O Lord, and

quiet the fear and hatred which divides us,

as we seek to build a future together,

of true and lasting peace.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, Prince of Peace,

Amen.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Yorta Yorta people as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we meet today. We commit to actively working alongside First Nations people for healing, reconciliation and justice.

The Catholic education faith community is inclusive and acknowledges that we are all made in the image and likeness of God and we are created in love. People of all faiths, genders, sexualities and cultures are therefore respected equally in the Sandhurst Catholic community.

We acknowledge the pain and suffering of all who have been hurt in body, mind and spirit by those who have betrayed the trust placed in them.

May we all stand tall, stand firm, grounded in truth, together as one.
