Prayer for the Pacification of Animosity

Let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
We thank You, O Master, Lover of Mankind, King of
the ages and Bestower of good things, Who
destroyed the dividing wall of enmity, and granted
peace to the human race, and Who now has granted
peace to Your servants. Instill in them the fear
of You and confirm in them love one for the other.
Extinguish every dispute and banish all temptation
to disagreement. For You are our peace and to You
we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages
of ages. Amen.
