February Fifteenth

Litany of Resistance (continued)

Deliver us, O God. Guide our feet in the ways of your peace.
In humility, we ask, Hear our prayer. Grant us peace.
In humility, we ask, Hear our prayer. Grant us peace.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; Have mercy on us
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; Free us from the bondage of sin and death
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; Hear our prayer. Grant us peace.

For the victims of war, Have mercy
Women, men and children, Have mercy
The maimed and the crippled, Have mercy
The abandoned and the homeless, Have mercy
The imprisoned and the tortured, Have mercy
The widowed and the orphaned. Have mercy
The bleeding and the dying, Have mercy
The weary and the desperate, Have mercy
The lost and the forsaken, Have mercy
For those fleeing in terror, Have mercy

For our scorched and blackened earth, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For the scandal of billions wasted in war, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For our leaders who wage war in our name, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For our Caesars and our Herods, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For our generals and tacticians, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For the men and women in battle, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For the men and women training for war, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For the scientists and researchers, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For the arms dealers and the merchants of death, Forgive us for we know not what we do
For our taxes that fund the evil of war, Forgive us for we know not what we do
Deliver us, O God; Guide our feet into the ways of peace
In humility, we ask: Hear our prayer. Grant us peace.
