A prayer for all ages together

Show an image of a dove with an olive branch

Show an image of a dove with an olive branch, and explain its symbolism. Invite people to link their thumbs, keeping their
fingers closed. Then say:


Let the dove of peace unfold her wings (spread fingers).
Watch her rise into the air (slowly raise hands, fluttering fingers).
Beat strongly, beautiful wings, fly over land and sea (make swooping motions).
Bring peace among the nations (close fingers again, clasp hands).
Amen.
