As a candle is lit all sing
'Peace, perfect peace'

Leader: |
Peace is a gift from Jesus our Lord. “My own peace I give you, John 14: 27 |
Lead pupils into a discussion of what the peace that Jesus gives us is like.
How do we feel when we take time to speak or pray to Jesus?
How do we feel when we do something to help others?
What does it feel like when we say sorry for having hurt somebody?
What does it feel like when we forgive somebody who has hurt us?
Let us now ask Jesus to help us to experience his peace.
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 1 | When we quarrel with our friends. |
| R: |
Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 2 | When we argue with our sisters and brothers. |
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 3 | When we feel angry. |
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 4 | When people cannot agree. |
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 5 : | When countries are at war. |
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
| Child 6 : | Help us to bring your peace to others. |
| R: | Lord, give us your peace. |
