Put peace into each other's hands and like a treasure hold it; protect it like a candle flame, with tenderness enfold it. Put peace into each other's hands with loving expectation; be gentle in your words and ways, in touch with God's creation. Put peace into each other's hands, like bread we break for sharing; look people warmly in the eye: our life is meant for caring. As at communion, shape your hands into a waiting cradle; the gift of Christ receive, revere, united round the table. Put Christ into each other's hands, he is love's deepest measure; in love make peace, give peace a chance and share it like a treasure.
