God of love and peace, we pray for the people of Ukraine. We pray for an end to senseless violence. We pray for all those living in fear and at risk that you hold them close and protect them. Amen.

Peace Ceremony
Our Sisters had a very special peace ceremony. The Maryknoll Sisters joined together to design and handcraft a beautiful sign, “Imagine Peace.” This sign was made by our sisters to pray for not only peace for Ukraine, but for the world.
