Prayer for the United Nations
May the peace and the blessings of the Holy Ones pour forth over the worlds, and rest upon the United Nations, on the work and the workers, protecting, purifying, energizing and strengthening.
There is a Peace which passes understanding. It abides in the hearts of those who live in the Eternal.
There is a Power that makes all things new. It lives and moves in all those who know the self as One.
May the rhythm of that Peace vibrate within the United Nations and in heart of every worker.
May the rhythm of that creative Power resound within the United Nations, and in the lives of all who serve there—awakening, transmuting, and giving birth to that which ought to be.
May the chalice that the United Nations is building become a focal point for the descent of spiritual force, filling it and overflowing to the world, and drawing towards itself all those whose work lies there.
May the consciousness of the United Nations become ever more at-one, and the many lights become One Light.
May the aspiration and the dedication of the United Nations burn as a clear flame in the service of humanity.
May the Love and the Light and the Life of the One Life pour through the United Nations, cleansing it from all evil and attracting all good.

International Day of Peace
Wednesday, Sept. 21
You can take part in a global vigil of meditation and prayer in support of peace.
Every year the United Nations calls upon people of goodwill and organisations to observe this International Day with activities dedicated to the creation of a culture of peace, and to a day of global cease-fire and non-violence. To support this special day on a spiritual level, a group of organisations representing a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions has encouraged local groups and individuals to hold a 24 hour Vigil in houses of worship and places of spiritual practice:

To support this special day on a spiritual level, a group of organisations representing a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions has encouraged local groups and individuals to hold a 24 hour Vigil in houses of worship and places of spiritual practice:
- Begin precisely on the quarter hour by using the Great Invocation, or the world prayer 'May Peace Prevail on Earth', or an invocation or prayer of your choice oriented towards world peace.
- Link in thought with the others who are linking at the same precise time as you and then with everyone in the world who is participating in the International Day of Peace Vigil (remember there will be countless people in churches, mosques, temples and sacred sites taking part in the Vigil);
- Reflect on the meaning of a Culture of Peace;
- Visualise the lighted, loving energies that can create the mental and emotional understanding and atmosphere within which peace can flourish in ourselves, our communities, our nations, and our world
