Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti

Good and gracious God, in a world ripe with distrust and hatred, we pray that You would come and fill us with Your peace. Help us to trust in You. May we live in love and unity with all of our brothers and sisters. It is only in You that we come to see the true beauty and dignity of all humanity, especially those who are most forgotten and often discarded by our society. We pray this in Your most holy name.

Amen.
