peace prayers

Pleas for harmony

Peace prayers are prayers asking for peace—whether world peace, peace in a conflict zone, or inner tranquility.

The phrase often appears in interfaith contexts where different traditions unite around a shared hope: The community gathered for peace prayers after the shooting.

Peace prayers may be formal liturgical texts or spontaneous petitions.
