PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

CARITAS AUSTRALIA INVITES US TO LIGHT A CANDLE AND PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

God of light,

You meet us in the darkest places.

Every year, when we light our Easter candle,

we pray ‘may the light of Christ, rising in glory,

dispel the darkness of our minds and hearts.’

We pray today that all peoplemay work with you

to dispel the darkness of violence and war.

May this fragile light be a sign of our hope

for the people of Gaza.

May they find healing and lasting peace.

Amen.
