Introductions to the
Peace |
|
|
|
|
|
1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Christ is our peace. |
|
|
He has reconciled us to God |
|
|
in one body by the cross. |
|
|
We meet in his name and share his
peace. |
|
|
|
|
|
2 |
|
|
We are the body of Christ. |
|
|
In the one Spirit we were all baptized into
one body. |
|
|
Let us then pursue all that makes for
peace |
|
|
and builds up our common life. |
|
|
|
|
|
3 |
|
|
May the God of peace make you perfect and
holy, |
|
|
that you may be kept safe and blameless |
|
|
in spirit, soul and body, |
|
|
for the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. |
|
|
|
|
|
4 |
|
|
Blessed are the peacemakers: |
|
|
they shall be called children of God. |
|
|
We meet in the name of Christ and share his
peace. |
|
|
|
|
|
5 |
|
|
God is love |
|
|
and those who live in love live in God |
|
|
and God lives in them. |
|
|
|
|
|
6 |
|
|
'Where two or three are gathered together in
my name,' |
|
|
says the Lord, 'there am I in the midst of
them.' |
|
|
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
We are all one in Christ Jesus. |
|
|
We belong to him through faith, |
|
|
heirs of the promise of the Spirit of
peace. |
|
|
|
|
|
The provision made for seasons and Principal
Holy Days may be used at other times when
appropriate. |
