PRAYER FOR PEACE
Gracious God, You have promised through your prophets that Jerusalem will be an example to the nations. Hear our prayers that Jerusalem be a place for peoples of all faiths to dwell with You and one another in peace. May Beit Benedict provide an encounter with Your sacred presence that fosters reverence and reconciliation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
AMEN
