Armistice Day

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

For peace in our country
For the victims of violence everywhere
For those struggling for peace and justice
For churches in conflict situations
For a world without war and violence
Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth,
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace,
Let peace fill our beings,
our world and our universe. Amen

[from the Vancouver Assembly of the World Council Of Churches]

  1. Canada is Remembering today, too. I saw the poppies on lapels in a news clip from Britain yesterday - and realized both countries are honoring those that gave their lives for freedom. Beautiful post!
