Join with us and the World Council of Churches in praying this prayer for peace during the World Week of Peace in Palestine and Israel:
“God of love and justice,
send your spirit of love and reconciliation into our hearts,
so we have the courage to uphold the sanctity of life,
see the beauty of all human beings created in your image
and overcome all hate,
God of reconciliation,
send your spirit of wisdom and prudence
into the hearts of those in power
that a just and sustainable peace
with room for a good life for both Palestinians and Israelis
may become possible.”
-Amen
This World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel includes the UN International Day of Peace on 21 September with its theme "Cultivating a Culture of Peace".
