A prayer marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe day on 8th May 2025.
Loving God, we pause to remember 80 years since the end of the second world war in Europe. In this nation and around the world, so many paid the highest price. We give thanks for the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their all so that we might live in freedom and peace.
As we look back with gratitude, we pray for our world today. In a time still marked by conflict, fear, and injustice, we cry out for peace and reconciliation around the world.
Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Help us to bring healing where there is brokenness, speak hope where there is despair, and speak your light into the darkness.
Amen.
