Lord Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace,
Today we begin this novena seeking the gift of peace—first within our own hearts.
Dispel all anxiety, resentment, and fear that reside within us.
Grant us the grace to surrender fully to Your will,
trusting that Your love is stronger than all unrest.
May Your peace dwell in the quiet of our conscience and radiate from within.
Amen.#archchicagoNovena
