Last November 26, the Chicago Daily News
invited its readers to write a Christmas Prayer
for Peace. The response was immediate and
impressive. Eight-year-olds and great-grand
parents, soldiers and ministers, public officials
and housewives, college professors and displaced
persons shared their prayers. Scores wrote letters
of blessing on the project. Many composed poems.
Some submitted original songs. Those who hesi
tated to make their private petitions public sent
in the inspiring prayers of saints and church
leaders. Following is the inspiring prayer sub
mitted by Bettie J. Gallagher of Oak Park, 111.
k
Dear Lord, make me an instrument of
Thy peace, Help me and all mankind
v to realize the need of calm ways and
serenity of heart.
Lead us to a brotherhood of love where
we, through and with Thy Blessed
Spirit, can give to our fellow man hope
in place of despair, pardon in place of
injury and love in place of hatred.
Guide us to the realization that in giving
we receive, in pardoning we are pardoned
and in believing we are one in spirit.
^Help us in these troubled times to over
come our thwarted ways, our blundering
steps and erring thoughts. Put your
hand upon our troubled hearts and open
our eyes, not to war, but to You - - - the
Light and Peace of the World. Amen.
