Students across Palestine and Israel have been
putting all their efforts and hard work to complete successfully this school
year as it comes to an end. Many of these students are taking the national exam
that will be a turning point towards their future.
·
Lord, give these students serenity and focus
despite all the difficulties that surround them. Brighten their future with
hope and lead their ways in their best interest.
Lord in your mercy……
This
week our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine, Israel and around the world started
observing the holy month of Ramadan. In Bethlehem, at the
Hospice of our Lady the
Virgin Mary, we find a model of social cooperation and solidarity where a group of volunteers,
Christians and Muslims collect foodstuffs donated by Palestinians, and
prepare 3,000 meals per day for the needy
and those with special needs.
·
God of love and mercy,
let your mercy and compassion be among all people of this land so that they may
live in peaceful harmony, share sorrows and joys, away from ways that lead to
violence and conflict.
Lord in your mercy……
Last Sunday the
funeral of Mohammad Ali took place. He was a great boxer and caring human
being. Rabbi Michael Lerner, who
spoke at his funeral, raised his voice loud and clear, for the cause of
justice, and against the oppressive occupation of the Palestinians.
God almighty, let the power of the truth shine through, and let courage empower people to overcome fear of speaking the truth in the face of power, so that your justice will reign and your Kingdom come on Earth.
Lord in your mercy……
