Caritas Australia invites us to light a candle and pray for the people of Gaza
God of light, You meet us in the darkest places.
Every year, when we light our Easter candle, we pray ‘may the light of Christ,
rising in glory dispel the darkness of our minds and hearts.’
We pray today that all people may work with you to dispel the
darkness of violence and war.
May this fragile light be a sign of our hope for the people of Gaza.
May they find healing and lasting peace. Amen.
If you are able to support Caritas Australia’s Gaza Appeal, please donate online at www.caritas.org.au/gaza or phone 1800 024 413.
