This page is designed to offer peace to those who feel a conflict in their heart and soul over the war in Iraq, Israel and other parts of our world. It is also a place to offer prayers for our armed forces,their families, the innocent families caught in the cross fire and our world at large.
 

I would like to open this page with a prayer.
 
Dear God, please receive our humble prayer for peace. When you walked our earth your message was one for peace and brotherly love. Allow our hearts to be opened to this peace and love and help us to overcome the perils of war. Please help us so the war will be over soon and the brave service people will return home to their families who love them so much. May your divine love protect our US troops in Iraq and lead them safely to victory in a swift manner without blood shed of innocent lives. Please help the families in Iraq find shelter until the storm of war  is over. Keep them from fear, anxiety and despair and offer them hope in God to survive the perils of this war. Bring peace to the Israelites and Palestinians so they can live in harmony.
 
Dear God in heaven hear our prayers in the Holy name of your son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen
 
 
I strongly maintain that war is not the answer. Peace and justice is the answer. Even one death is too many, too much for a family to bare, too much for a nation to carry. This does not count the innocent Iraqi civilians, women and children who have been killed. Please pray for the dead and especially pray for peace in our world. Let's give a moment of silence for all those who have died in this war.
 
This is the wall of faces of the fallen American heros since the war started. Please pray for them.
 
Even one death is too much for a family and nation to bear. Peace is the answer to war and suffering. May peace reign in our world, in our communities and in our hearts. If we all had a peaceful heart, there would be peace throughout the land. God Almighty, hear our prayers for peace. Bless the families who are in anguish. Bless the Americans who died defending us. Bless our nation and the world with your Divine love of peace.
Amen

Many philosophers had their opinions on war and all agreed that war is not the answer. Peaceful negotiations are the only way to accomplish a peaceful resolve. When dealing with others in a war like manner retaliation is always an inevitable response and then we have a domino effect of violence. But, are we so uncivilized that peaceful negotiations are beyond our grasp. The US is always open to peaceful talks it is our foe who find it difficult to conform to these peaceful talks. So what do we do? How do we deal with people who hate runs so deep that talking or complying with our request to unarm of war heads of mass destruction is left unresolved. The President thinks that war with Iraq is the only solution and I do not know enough about it to form an intellegent opinion on other options, but I do know that war is not kind. War is killing, bloodshed, tears, despair and disruption of innocent lives. I can only pray that the war is over soon, resolution become evident and peace reigns in our world.
 
Please offer your prayers or a moment of silence for our military. 
 
Peace to all of you,
Love Mary
