We pray for
the victims killed in recent bombing attacks in Syria and Baghdad. We also pray for Taiwan as it has suffered
four typhoons this year including the typhoon Jangmi this week. We pray for all
the victims and their families, that they may be comforted and strengthened
during these difficult times.
As Ramadan
comes to an end this week, Eid al Fitr begins, and the Jewish High Holidays
occur (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur), we pray for the good holidays and safety
of all people in the region. We pray that Palestinians will have the
opportunity to celebrate with their families rather than checkpoint closures,
soldier aggression and settler violence, and imposition of curfews.
We pray for
the few members of Christian Peacemaker Teams working in Hebron and the village
of at-Tuwani in the face of increasing settler violence. We pray for their
physical safety and courage to get in the way of injustice and violence.
We pray for
this month’s Study Circle that will take place at Sabeel on the position of
Palestinian refugees in international law. We pray that it will be a time of
insightful discussion and learning for all who participate.
