Papa God, when you finished your creation you declared it to be good. Yet, as we enter this new day Father, there is so much violence and bloodshed around us. In the same way that your Son had to flee the temple where he should have felt safe, many are today fleeing their homes, their workplaces and even their schools. Heal my country O God. Help us to remember that we were created out of love, and to love. Strengthen us who believe, that we may never get tired of doing what is right and just in your eyes. And when our days come to an end Father, may we enjoy the peace that now seems so elusive.
