| Shelled Syrian home |
This prayer is offered through the Church of England, but I've added the line in italics at the end.
Spirit of wisdom and grace,
the power of truth and judgement;
we pray for all who are working for peace
in the tangled conflict of Syria today.
For international leaders holding a thread of control,
for the politicians holding a thread of power,
for the religious leaders holding a thread of authority,
for the fighters holding a thread of influence,
and the citizens clinging to a thread of hope.
Bring unity through the untangled order of justice.
Bring reconciliation through truthful dialogue.
Bring new life through patient diplomacy,
determined mediation and courageous peace-making.
Bring about conversion of heart
through the prayers of Saint Eid il-Burbara (St. Barbara)
patroness of Syria.
We pray in the name of Christ
our source of light and love.
Amen.
