Lighting of Peace Candle

All: We pray for peace,
In our hearts,
In our homes,
In our communities,
In our nations,
And in our worlds.

Scripture- Revelation 19:19-20; Revelation 21:22-26

Call to Action and Contemplation

One: Jesus was beloved by the poor and the outcast

All: but he was a threat to people with power.

One: Jesus stood against the Temple,

All: so he was a threat to the religious leaders.

One: Jesus healed on the Sabbath and ate with sinners,

All: so he was a threat to the religious law keepers.

One: Jesus took the titles of “Lord,” “Son of God,” and “King.”

All: those were the Caesar’s titles: he was a threat to the government.

One: Jesus came without violence

All: yet he disturbed the peace.

One: Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom of God

All: and the kingdoms of this world were frightened.

One: Lord, help us to love your Kingdom
more than the kingdoms of this world.

All: For thine is the Kingdom,
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
