Prayer for the Courage to be Great
Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9)
Pier Giorgio responds: “I offer you my best wishes – or, rather, only one wish, but the only wish that a true friend can express for a dear friend: may the peace of the Lord be with you always! For, if you possess peace every day, you will be truly rich.”
Pause for a silent prayer and reflection.
Suggested additional reading: Romans 12:18
We pray: Saint Pier Giorgio, despite your daily struggles, you found peace by fostering your own well-being in work, study, and play; in prayer alone and with others; in silence and in song, in laughter and in serious conversation with friends. Guide me to that inner peace which will enable me to share peace with others. O beloved Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is our peace, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (mention your request.) We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
