Praise be to the Lord of the Universe 
who has created us 
and made us into tribes and nations, 
that we may know each other, 
not that we may despise each other. 
If the enemy inclines towards peace, 
do thou also incline towards peace, 
and trust in God, 
for the Lord is the one that heareth and knoweth all things. 
And the servants of God, Most Gracious, 
are those who walk on the Earth in humility, 
and when we address them, 
we say "Peace."

  To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant 
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace 
and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

In the beginning was God,
Today is God,
Tomorrow will be God.
Who can make an image of God?
He has no body.
He is the word 
which comes out of your mouth.
That word!
It is no more,
It is past, and still it lives!
So is God. 

Oh, Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, 
hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom. 

Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock. 

I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit will come to you
without shame. 

Baha'i Prayer of Dedication

Wherever I go, only Thou!
Wherever I stand, only Thou
Just Thou, again Thou!
always Thou!
Thou, Thou, Thou!
When things are good, Thou!
When things are bad, Thou!
Thou, Thou, Thou!

Taoism Chant - 6th Century

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola, 16th Century

 Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, 
my memory, my understanding 
and my whole will.
All that I am and all that I possess 
You have given me.
I surrender it all to You 
to be disposed of according to Your will.
Give me only Your love and Your grace;
with these I will be rich enough,
and will desire nothing more.

Christian - Traditional Hymn- 18th Century 

  Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
 The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
 When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

May you be filled 
with loving kindness.
May you be well.
May you be peaceful
and at ease.
May you be happy. 

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy. 

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek 
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. 

May he bestow prudence on all of us!
May he inspire us towards the righteous cause!
May he guide us to speak the truth!
May he make us conscious about spirituality! 
From untruth lead us to Truth.
From darkness lead us to Light.
From death lead us to Immortality.
Om Peace, Peace, Peace. 

Hear, 0 Israel: 
The LORD our God is one LORD: 
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
 with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, 
and with all thy might. 

Sufi Blessing

Beloved Lord, Almighty God,
Through the Rays of the Sun,
Through the Waves of the Air,
Through the All Pervading Life in Space;
Purify and Revivify Us
And we pray, heal our bodies, 
hearts, and souls.
Amen
