The patriarchs and heads of the churches of Jerusalem have called for today to be an international day of prayer and fasting for the Holy Land. We lit this candle in our Sunday service at All Saints’ Church, praying for Israelis and Palestinians, and Jews, Muslims and Christians who live in the land of Jesus’ birth.
O prayer for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces. (Psalm 122.6-7)
