The Church of England is joining with other churches around the world today to pray for the people of Gaza, Israel and the wider Middle East. It is timed to coincide with the UN’s International Day of Peace. A prayer for the Holy Land Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: In your mercy, provide for all those in Gaza and beyond who suffer from hunger and starvation, that they may be given both physical bread to nourish their bodies and heavenly bread to sustain their souls. By the power of your Spirit, bring a speedy end to this cruel war, the release of all captives, care for the sick and wounded, comfort for those who have lost loved-ones, and the opening of a pathway for a just and lasting peace here in the very homeland where your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ministered during his earthly life; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. The Most Reverend Dr Hosam E. Naoum Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem
