A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East


O God Source of Life, Creator of Peace. . .

Help Your children, anguished and confused,
To understand the futility of hatred and violence
And grant them the ability to stretch across
Political, religious and national boundaries
So they may confront horror and fear
By continuing together
In the search for justice, peace and truth. . . .
With every fiber of our being
We beg You, O God,
To help us not to fail nor falter. Amen


Rabbi H. Rolando Matalon
