The *Gloria* is a prayer for peace for all the people of God on the earth. Prayer for peace is made through the [[anaphora]] at Mass: an appeal for the peace and unity of the Church, for the peace of the entire family of God in this life, for the advancement of peace and salvation in the world. During the communion rite the Church prays that the Lord will “grant us peace in our day” and remembers Christ's gift that consists of his peace, invoking “the peace and unity of his Kingdom”. Before communion, the entire assembly exchanges a sign of peace and the assembly prays that the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world will “grant us peace”. The eucharistic celebration concludes with the assembly being dismissed in the peace of Christ. There are many prayers that invoke peace for the world. In these, peace is sometimes associated with justice, for example, as in the opening prayer for the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, in which the Church asks God to guide the course of world events in justice and peace, according to his will. ^csdc-fn-1102 \[1103\] Paul VI, [Message for the 1968 World Day of Peace](http://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/messages/peace/documents/hf_p-vi_mes_19671208_i-world-day-for-peace.html): *AAS* 59 (1967), 1100. ^csdc-fn-1103 \[1104\] Paul VI, [Message for the 1976 World Day of Peace](http://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/messages/peace/documents/hf_p-vi_mes_19751018_ix-world-day-for-peace.html): *AAS* 67 (1975), 671. ^csdc-fn-1104 --- --- ![[maps/bibliography#^biblio-csdc]] > [[sd-08-footnotes-2a|← Previous]] | [[sd-08-footnotes|TOC]] | [[sd-08-footnotes-3|Next →]]
