At the end of this civil year

God our Father, at the end of the civil year and the first decade of this century,
we think of all the natural disasters, all the violence and the difficulties that came over many people?
Give that the people around us may find more happiness
that they may be aware of the end of this empire
and longingly look for your coming Kingdom.
Your Kingdom of Peace come soon
and let our friends and acquaintances be together with our family
and be participants;
that we ask you in Christ Jesus name,
amen
