A Prayer From The Interfaith Thanksgiving Service: Holy One of mercy and compassion, pour your loving grace upon all Israelis and Palestinians in this dreadful time of war. Let hatred be turned into love, fear to trust, despair to hope, violence to peace. May the violent encounters be replaced with visions of peace and reconciliation for all. May the people of the world mourn and grieve with all Israelis and Palestinians the tragic loss of life. May all religious traditions believe that the way of love makes possible a new creation. May our life’s work be a passion for peace and nonviolence. Guide all your children through these dark days and sustain our hope for peace and unity in the Middle East. Open all hearts to your divine light. Amen.
