ANZAC Day
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.
