A Prayer For Gaza
Peace, Justice and Equity

We pray in the midst of the great pain and deep trauma of ongoing genocide in Gaza. And we pray for those living in fear throughout the holy land. Our hearts break for the people of Gaza. In the midst of death and destruction may they find refuge. May the hearts of those in power break with ours and end the killing, once and for all! And may the way open to full and immediate humanitarian access for food, water, and medicine to reach all in need. We pray too for the protection of ALL who are held hostage and for their safe release. Be with those who need you most in these days of suffering.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER AND THE SPIRITUAL VALUE OF SEEKING NONVIOLENT ALTERNATIVES
