A Prayer of Lament for the Continued Suffering of the Palestinian People

Praying for Peace and Justice on November 17, 2024

Loving Spirit

We lack the words to fully describe the broken heartedness we feel as we witness the continued suffering of the Palestinian people.  Amid the famine, disease and genocide, we hear the cries of your people struggling to survive, grieving for loved ones, not knowing where to turn for safety.

Mother of Justice and Compassion,

We cry out for those who are crushed beneath the horrors of occupation and unjust systems of relentless oppression. We lament the shattering of human rights and our participation in the violent destruction of a people and their homeland.

Spirit of Peace,

May your light shine into the darkest halls of power to restore the dignity of all.

May YOUR love strengthen OUR commitment to peace and justice

bring freedom, liberation and healing to all who are suffering.

May it be so.
