We join in prayer in our homes at 7pm each Sunday, to pray for peace to reign, especially during the crisis in Ukraine

Light a candle, as a visible sign of the light of Christ, who is the light of the world…

Take a deep breath. Feel the breath of God that has given you life.

Centre yourself and pray…

“I lift up my eyes to the hills – from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1-2)…
… who created us for peace among neighboring countries,
… who gave us wisdom to understand each other,
… who teach us love to resolve differences without war.

God of peace, in your mercy!
Whisper your wisdom into the ears of the leaders of nations,
That their mouths speak of peace
That their hands protect the children
That their eyes find you.
That their decisions are in the direction of stopping the war in Ukraine.
God of peace, in your mercy!
