GLORIOUS LORD, I give you greeting!
Let the church and the chancel praise you,
Let the chancel and the church praise you,
Let the plain and the hillside praise you,
Let the worldโs three well-springs praise you,
Two above wind and one above land,
Let the dark and the daylight praise you.
Abraham, founder of the faith, praised you:
Let the life everlasting praise you,
Let the birds and honeybees praise you,
Let the shorn Stems and shoots praise you.
Both Aaron and Moses praised you:
Let the male and the female praise you,
Let the air and the ether praise you,
Let the books and the letters praise you,
Let the fish in the swift streams praise you,
Let the thought and the action praise you,
Let the sand-grains and earth-clods praise you,
Let all the good thatโs performed praise you.
And I shall praise you, Lord of glory:
Glorious Lord, I give you greeting!

The Week of Prayer for World Peace begins today, 15th October, and continues until 22nd October. The theme for the week is ‘praying for hope in a troubled world.’
On this Week of Prayer for World Peace the Iona Communityโs Peace and Interfaith Common Concern Networks are collaborating with Alignment: Interfaith Contemplative Practices and the Week of Prayer for World Peace to share a video prayer for peace, from a different faith tradition, each day of the week.
Join people around the world who will be using these videos on the same day, united in prayer and our longing for a peace that unites us as humanity in the care of Creation.
Doors on the calendar will open each day, beginning today. You can find the calendar here: iona.org.uk/our-resources/prayer-and-worship/

We have all been invited in the last few days to join with Archbishop Hosam Naoum and the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, as well as Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby, to pray fervently for all those who have been hurt, harmed, or killed in this conflict.
My heart aches when I remember visiting al-Ahli hospital in 2018 during Holy Week to meet the medical teams and all the people of that remarkable ministry. They were passionately committed to anyone who had need.
I know personally how faithful Episcopalians are in praying. During my surgery and recovery, you have prayed for me and for my healing, and I am more grateful and thankful than words can say.
Right now, I ask you to pray fervently for the birthplace of the Abrahamic faiths and for all its people. Pray for those who have been hurt, harmed, or killedโregardless of who they are or who did it.
Pray also for the leaders and people of the entire region, that they will remember Godโs mercy, and that they will find the way to a just peace where all may live in safety and security as God intends.
Pray this week for President Biden, that he may be an advocate for immediate humanitarian access for those who desperately need food, water, and medicineโand for comfort and consolation for those who have been displaced and those who are grieving loved ones.
Please join me in praying:
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn
but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the
strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that
all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of
Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and
glory, now and forever. Amen.
Prayers for the World, Book of Common Prayer, p. 815.

Pope Francis’ Prayer for Peace:
Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!
We have tried so many times and over so many years to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms. How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced; how much blood has been shed; how many lives have been shattered; how many hopes have been buriedโฆ But our efforts have been in vain.
Now, Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, teach us peace; guide our steps in the way of peace. Open our eyes and our hearts, and give us the courage to say: โNever again war!โ; โWith war everything is lostโ. Instil in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.
Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love, you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters. Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace; enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister. Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens who entreat us to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace, our trepidation into confident trust, and our quarreling into forgiveness.
Keep alive within us the flame of hope, so that with patience and perseverance we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation. In this way may peace triumph at last, and may the words โdivisionโ, โhatredโ and โwarโ be banished from the heart of every man and woman. Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands. Renew our hearts and minds, so that the word which always brings us together will be โbrotherโ, and our way of life will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!
Amen.

๐ Holy God, we recognise our own frailties and sinfulness. As we seek your healing and blessing, help us to appreciate and respond to struggle and sometimes wrongdoing in others.
๐ That we may become better able to recognise fear, offer forgiveness, and embrace all who are hurting because of abuse or hidden pain into a community sharing your grace and goodness.
๐ Amen.
