Prayers from Week of Prayer for World Peace

So powerful is the light of unity that it
can illuminate the whole earth.
Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá’í

The world we build tomorrow is born in
the prayers we say today.
Jonathan Sachs, Chief Rabbi

Shall I inform you of an act better than
praying or fasting?
It is making peace with another.
For enmity and malice tear up heavenly
rewards by the roots.
A man's true wealth is the amount of
good he does in his life.
The Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

My religion is very simple. My religion is
kindness.
Dalai Lama, Buddhist

God has created us all human ... He is
kind and just to all.
Why should we be unkind and unjust to
each other?
Abdu'l-Baha'

Let us pray that all living beings realise
that they are all brothers and sisters,
nourished from the same source of life.
Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be
the cause of suffering to each other.
Buddhist

Reconciliation, in the Biblical sense, is not
about ideologies or beliefs but about
people, their relationship and response
to God, and their relationship and
response to each other.
Sydney Bailey, Christian

If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be
jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten
tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it
may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you
and God. It was never between you and
them anyway.
Mother Teresa, Christian

Do not attach yourself to a particular
creed or religion exclusively,
So that you disbelieve in all the rest,
Otherwise you will lose much good;
Nay, you will fail to recognise
The real truth of the matter.
God the Omnipresent and Omnipotent is
not limited by any one creed.
Wheresoever you turn, there is the face
of God
Ibn El-Arabi, Muslim
