Prayer
God of life and of love,
Father of all Mankind,
full of tenderness and mercy:
You have projects of freedom and dignity
for each one of us.
Our Good Father: You who in Your Son Jesus
sought to gather together all men
of every race, believe and culture
in one single family.
You who condemn war
and every power which harms people and their coexistence,
listen to the prayer of your children
who demand justice as the only guarantee
for reinforcing the law of nations.
We believe that peace is built on dialogue,
we believe in diplomacy as the best way
to reach a fair, human, and lasting solution
to the controversy about the sovereignty
of the Malvinas Islands.
In communion with Mary, Our Lady of Lujan,
we ask You that the people in charge of our nations
give priority to respect, to historic sober-mindedness
and to the care of people and nations
in the negotiation we so much need.
We entrust You
those who died on the battlefield,
those who found no reasons to go on living when coming home,
those who remained wounded and ill,
those who by their effort blended in in our Argentine society
which still owes care and protection
to the former combatants,
to all their families
and to the communities of which they form part.
Give our hearts Your Holy Spirit,
in order to build at this time
days of peace and justice,
of freedom and universal brotherhood.
Amen
