🕊️ To mark the UN International Day of Peace this coming Sunday, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has issued an invitation to join her in prayer for peace in the Middle East. Archbishop William Nolan, President of Justice & Peace Scotland, has also asked us to unite our prayers with hers.

🙏 The prayer we are invited to say together is written by Most Rev Archbishop Hosam Naoum, the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem:

God of peace, God of justice,
we bring before you the pain and suffering of your people.

We pray for wisdom for leaders, compassion in our communities,
and hope in the midst of despair.

May your Spirit guide us towards peace,
and may we always be courageous in choosing what is right.
Amen.

🤍Please share the call to pray together this Sunday for peace.
