The power of prayer is beyond measure. Historically, many battles were won with it. Numerous miracles were brought about by prayer.
Yes, there are groups of people who sincerely pray for world peace. Most of us sincerely wish for peace in the world. Except for some businesses which thrive in and other entities that benefit from wars and conflicts, many of us who believe that wars and conflicts are not the necessary and ultimate means to achieve what we want must stand up for non-violent and peaceful means such as prayers.
Annually, the Symphony of Peace Prayers on Global Peace Meditation and Prayer Day gather people of various faiths to have 24-hour prayer marathon in different locations in the world. The idea originated in Fuji Sanctuary in Japan, with the Byakko Shinko Kai. The organization is dedicated to promoting world peace through a universal prayer, "May Peace Prevail On Earth."
The activity exudes love and gratitude to humanity and all living things on earth.
Peace-TAYO was able to participate in this year's (2011) celebration of Symphony of Peace Prayers in Miriam College last May 22. It was organized by the Mandala Peace Arts Initiative, Inc. in partnership with Peacemakers' Circle Foundation and United Religious Initiative (URI) in Southeast Asia-Pacific.
Various groups and organizations joined and all prayed, May Peace Prevail On Earth!
As the song goes, and let it begin with me!
Peace tayo!
