SDI Coordinating Council member, Jinks Hoffmann created this prayer for peace. We invite you to join us in praying for peace today, United Nations International Day of Peace. 

Peace.

There is a peace
that passes understanding,    Philippians 4:7
a peace
that needs not
control.
Though life is
uncertain and random
and chaos is ever present,
there is a peace.

There is a peace
an intuitive knowing
that fits
like pieces of a jig-saw puzzle
into a coherent whole,
a peace that seeks and finds
Peace.

There is Peace
longing to be present
in all the world,
 Peace that desires
nothing more
than quiet
forgiveness, acceptance
and recognition
of the samenesses and differences
that makes us human.

When peace and Peace
connect, as if God’s hand
on the Sistine Chapel finally
reaches Adam’s,
the world will breathe
a sigh of relief,
and the thank you will reverberate
through
eternity.
