Melody Beattie 1948
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Bible
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
If possible, so far as it lies with you, live at Peace with all men.
Black Elk 1863 – 1950
Know the power that is Peace.
Peace will come to the hearts of men when they realize their oneness with the universe, it is everywhere.
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the Souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.
This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the Souls of men.
Harold Boulton 1859 – 1935

Eileen Caddy 1917 – 2006
When a cupboard is full to overflowing and the doors are opened up, that which is within comes tumbling out and nothing can stop it. When floodgates are opened, the water rushes forth with tremendous power and force, carrying all before it. So with the spiritual power within you; once it has been recognized and released, nothing can stop the flow. It pours forth, sweeping aside all negativity and disharmony, bringing with it peace, love, harmony and understanding. It is love that will overcome the world; it is love which will unite humanity. Therefore the sooner you release that tremendous power of love within you and allow it to flow freely, the sooner will you behold world peace and harmony and the oneness of all humanity. When you have love in your heart, you draw the very best out of everyone, for love sees only the best and therefore draws forth the best. Be not afraid; open up, hold nothing back, and let it all flow freely.
George Carey 1935
Words can sometimes be hard to find. But sometimes the simplest and briefest of prayers can be profound.. God of love, turn our hearts to your ways and give us peace. Amen.
