Jesus’ teaching on the Sermon on the Mount offers a rich foundation for prayers of peace and love. The Beatitudes describe the character of Christ’s followers—the meek, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers—and call the church to be a community set apart to bear witness to God’s truth and grace .
