World Peace Day 2015 No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters

Lord, God of Abraham, God of the prophets, God of love, You created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters. Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace. Enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister. Amen Prayer of Pope Francis

Sophie’s Story

Pope Francis’s Message for World Peace Day

Slavery today is seen as a crime against humanity... …yet millions are deprived of their freedom and live in conditions akin to slavery.

Workers... forced to labour, poorly paid, endangered

Migrants… living and working in inhumane conditions

Asylum seekers… robbed of their freedom and dignity

Women forced into prostitution

Children as soldiers

Slavery is rooted in the idea that people can be treated as an object. A means to an end. Not as human beings created in the image and likeness of God

Let us not be indifferent to their suffering

A kind word, a greeting, and a smile cost nothing but can offer hope, open doors, and transform lives.

Bidding prayers We pray for victims of modern slavery; those denied their rights, for those denied a voice. Lord in your mercy… Hear our prayer

Bidding prayers We pray for those working to oppose exploitation; those who welcome asylum seekers, support victims of trafficking, and combat criminal gangs exploiting people’s desperation. Lord in your mercy… Hear our prayer

Bidding prayers We pray for ourselves; as we recognise all people as brothers and sisters may we be inspired in our own work for justice and peace. Lord in your mercy… Hear our prayer

Bidding prayers Let us pray together that prayer which reminds us that we are all beloved children of God… Our Father, who art in heaven...

Give us courage Lord, to stand up and be counted; to stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves; to stand up for ourselves when needed to do so. Let us fear nothing more than we fear you. Let us love nothing more than we love you. Let us have no other God before you, whether party, state, or church. Let us seek no other peace except the peace which is yours, and make us your instruments, your eyes, ears, and arms. So that we should always know what work of peace and love you call us to do for you. Amen
