A message from Bishop Rose and a prayer from the Archbishop of Jerusalem.
My sisters and brothers I am sure that like me you are deeply shocked at the unfolding violence in the Holy Land with all the signs that the violence is going to escalate.
I am calling on us all to pray earnestly for these dark days that are unfolding. Pray too for the hostages and their families; pray for a cessation of the violence and for the international community to renew its commitment and all its efforts to work for peace and justice.
The Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum has offered us this prayer:
O God of all justice and peace, we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.
Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths – Jews, Muslims and Christians and for all people of the land.
While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples.
Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children – for to all of us, you are our heavenly father.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
