Source of Light,
On this Europe Day,
we contemplate the rich tapestry
of cultures, languages, and traditions
that grace this continent.
Grant us the wisdom
to cherish diversity,
to embrace unity,
and to celebrate the richness
of our differences.
Guide our leaders
to foster peace,
understanding,
and cooperation among nations,
that together we may build a future
of harmony and prosperity for all.
Bless our endeavors
with resilience,
empathy,
and compassion,
as we strive to create a world
where justice and kindness
reign supreme.
May the essence of unity and siblinghood
infuse our souls,
inspiring us to collaborate tirelessly
for the advancement of all humanity.

This prayer for Europe Day (9 May) was written by Rabbi Lior Bar-Ami and first published to his Facebook page on 9 May 2024. Europe Day commemorates the signing of the Schuman Declaration on 9 May 1950, an ambitious plan to secure long-term peace in post-war Europe that is considered the beginning of what is now the European Union.
