Prayer for Peace of Jerusalem

Andrew Metcalfe —

A prayer for Jerusalem has been received to share from our regional St. George’s College Committee.

“May they prosper who love you.Peace be within your walls and security within your towers.” (Ps 122:6-7)

Holy and Eternal God, you hold heaven and earth in a single peace.Enable and inspire the peaceful coexistence of Palestinians and Israelis.Raise up leaders who will foster peace with justice and mutual respect.May every temple, church and mosque be a place of sanctuary and healing.May Christians of every tradition live and work together for your grace and glory. Empower the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, in its worship, education, health care, ecumenical and interfaith partnerships in Jerusalem, Jordan, the West Bank, Israel, Syria and Lebanon. Uphold St George’s College Jerusalem in its ministry of hospitality, education, pilgrimage and prayer.Inspire Australians and New Zealanders to share in this life-changing pilgrimage journey. We pray in the unity of God the Creator, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer offered by the St George’s College Jerusalem Australia/New Zealand Regional Committee
