Pope John Paul II pictured arriving on a pastoral visit to Egypt in 2000."Lord Jesus Christ,
who are called the Prince of Peace,
who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,
who so often said, 'Peace to you,'
grant us peace.
Make all men and women
witnesses of truth, justice, and brotherly love.
Banish from their hearts
whatever might endanger peace.
Enlighten our rulers
that they may guarantee
and defend the great gift of peace.
May all peoples on the earth
become as brothers and sisters.
May longed-for peace
blossom forth and reign always
over us all."
