Eternal GOD, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, and no strength known but the strength of love; GUIDE and inspire, we pray, the leaders of the nations that all may find their security not in force of arms, but in the perfect love that casts out fear; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
