| ¶ | 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. | ||
