Cognizant that the life changing event in Audrey's life occurred on August 9th, the anniversary of the nuclear attack on Nagasaki, we look to her during the escalating war Russia and its invasion of Ukraine. Please pray the following prayer daily for a quick and firm peaceful resolution to this war.
Lord God,
the human need to control and dominate others
was evidenced in the last century
with the horrors of the Holocaust
and the invention of nuclear arms.
These realities changed the course of our history.
We find ourselves again
at a crossroads with political tensions frayed
and the human ego again influencing political minds.
Listen to the prayers of your servant Audrey,
who surrendered her whole self
to your will on the anniversary
of one of the nuclear attacks.
May her love for you with our prayers
bring resolution to this current conflict
that your peace may reign in all hearts.
Through the Prince of Peace, Christ our Lord. Amen.
