Prayer for peace in the Middle East

Lord Jesus Christ

The Holy Land is once again struck with violence, hatred and death. Lord look with mercy upon the land that was your earthly home.

Receive the deceased into your presence. Comfort those who mourn, are wounded , or forced to flee. Be close to all who are full of fear and despair.

You are our peace and the light of the nations put an end to the spiral of terror and suffering in the Holy Land and in the whole Middle East.

Let peace and justice flourish at the holy sites. You are our refuge. Let the people be safe in Your love.

Have mercy on us and on our time. Amen

Amen

How many children are deprived of the fundamental right to life and to physical and mental integrity due to conflicts?

How many children are forced to take part, directly or indirectly, in fighting, and bear scars? No war is worth the tears of children.
