We live in a world that needs a whole lot of love, love of others particularly those who are homeless, persecuted and exploit by the greedy and selfish.
St Paul tells us: “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in right. (1 Corinthians 13.4-6.). We pray that our world can be filled with a love that drives out hate and violence.

Prayer


We pray for an end to the suffering caused by wars and conflict. We pray that love and understanding will replace conflict and aggression. For the peace makers working to bring an end to the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. We pray that Russia will end its aggression and work for peace in the region so all people can live in peace and help one another. We also pray that Israel will stop its attacks on Gaza and the people of Israel and Palestine will learn to live together in peace and work to prevent future suffering.    

Amen.

Reflections by Bandana Preacher (David Rogers)

 Why work for Peace?

Its currently estimated that 70 million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution, and 90 percent of armed-conflict casualties are civilians, half of them children. This is why it is important to support those who are working for Peace. It is important that adults and young leaders are trained to prevent and mediate conflict resolution and aid refugees who have fled dangerous areas. We must pray for peace and the underlying structural causes of conflict are addressed, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. What we must pray for is that the world’s leaders will give peace a chance.
