A Prayer from the HOLY LAND
God of mercy and compassion,
of grace and reconciliation,
pour your power upon all your children in the Holy Land:
Jews, Muslims, Christians,
Palestinians and Israelis.
Let hatred be turned into love,
fear to trust, despair to hope,
oppression to freedom, occupation to liberation,
that violent encounters may be replaced by loving embraces,
and peace and justice could be experienced by all.
Amen.
