Text for a parish bulletin
About 75 words, sized for one column:
Eight minutes for peace
Every Sunday at 8 PM, people pause for eight minutes to pray or sit in silence for peace, each in their own tradition. Because the time is local time, the moment travels around the world with the evening. You need nothing for it: no special place, no account, no experience. At cosmicpeaceprayers
.org you will find a timer with a soft bell, prayers for peace from many traditions and a Sunday letter. It is free and non-commercial.
Prayer of intercession for a service
For Christian congregations, for example in Advent:
We pray for all who suffer from war and violence, for the wounded, the grieving and those who have had to flee. Give them protection and comfort, and let us not grow weary of praying and working for peace.

How you may use it
- Free to use. You may print, copy, shorten and adapt the texts and the card, even without credit.
- Not for sale. Please pass the material on free of charge, as the practice itself is free.
- A link helps. If you mention the practice online, a link to cosmicpeaceprayers.org is very welcome. It helps others find the Sunday evening.
- Tell us. A short note to hello@cosmicpeaceprayers.org about where the notice appeared means a lot to us. On request we will send the text in another length.
