“May Peace Prevail on Earth”





This prayer for world peace is resonating in the hearts of people around the world. The movement to bring about world peace through this prayer was started by Masahisa Goi (1916-1980) in 1955.

History of the World Peace Prayer Society

Masahisa Goi grew up with a great fondness for the arts. He was a gifted poet, writer and philosopher. Above all, however, he dedicated his life to humanity. The devastation caused by the Second World War affected him in a profound way. He searched for ways to respond to the desperate cry for peace not only in Japan but also around the world. Through steadfast commitment and faith, he gained much insight into the spiritual nature of humankind and was intuitively guided to conceive of the universal prayer “May Peace Prevail on Earth”.

In Japan, where he is respected as a great master in his field, he founded an organization called Byakko Shinko Kai, and provided many people with spiritual guidance for the attainment of inner and global peace. He has written more than 50 books, including God and Man, One Who Connects Heaven and Earth (an autobiography), Lectures on Lao Tzu, Lectures on the Bible, and others.

May Peace Prevail on Earth is a message for all humanity. The World Peace Prayer Movement is a global initiative inviting all people to unite our hearts through this universal prayer to build a peaceful future for our planet.

Ummmm.... Sorry, this does not pertain to me.  The author should speak for himself.  I raised my two children with love, attention, and values.  When I had to work, I went to great pains to have relatives pick them up from school or watch them, otherwise I made other job arrangements, but I gave them a stable home life with mom there.  You see, I was a latchkey kid myself and I was the one who was left to fend for myself.  I know very well the loneliness of coming home to an empty apartment to start my homework by myself and not have my mother to protect me.  As a 12 year old I made a vow that I would always be there for my children.  And I kept it.  During their growth years, I sacrificed everything for my kids so that they would be as emotionally stable as possible.

No, nobody is perfect, but I truly did my best.  So count me out of this article.

Hugs,
