We pray for the meetings held between state leaders and
international organizations to discuss the global financial crisis. As they make
their decisions, we pray that they remember the needs of ordinary people who
are the most affected by the crisis.
This week, we continue to pray for the safety of both local and
international volunteers participating in the Olive Harvest. We pray that Palestinian
farmers and their families who are suffering from continuous settler violence
and uprooting of olive trees may have a peaceful harvest.
We pray for the numerous pilgrimage groups coming to Jerusalem who
take the time out of their Holy Land trips to participate in alternative tours
– either the Contemporary Way of the Cross or other opportunities and make an
effort to see and hear what is happening in Jerusalem and the Occupied
Palestinian Territories.
We pray for all Sabeel staff and volunteers in Jerusalem and
Nazareth planning the seventh international conference. As the conference dates
quickly approach, we pray that we will be united in a spirit of love,
encouragement, and commitment to the work of justice.
