World News This Week in Prayer – Thursday, November 13, 2014

As we gather the thoughts of our hearts in prayer, we give thanks to the Creator who brings order out of chaos. Let us bring the chaos of our lives and our world to God, to hold in love. 

Let us pray for those whose memories are chaos: For all veterans whose lives are affected by scenes of war replayed and relived. For those who have endured rape, abuse, or harassment. For those who feel they cannot be forgiven for mistakes from their past. 

God, be with us in the chaos. 

Let us pray for those whose emotions are chaos: For those who grieve. For the parents of the 43 students still missing in Mexico. For those anxiously seeking work. For those enduring heartbreak.

God, be with us in the chaos. 

Let us pray for those places where there is chaos in conflict: For Ukraine and Russia. For Armenia and Azerbaijan where border tensions have erupted. For Turkey where protestors assaulted 3 U.S. sailors. For Egypt where 8 servicemen are missing at sea after their ship was attacked by gunmen.

God, be with us in the chaos. 

Let us pray for those places where there is chaos in making hard choices: For those working to ameliorate climate change through personal and political means. For those who immigrate to foreign lands. For each of us as we make life-changing choices every day, knowing little of where they might lead us. 

God, be with us in the chaos. 

Guide us, strengthen us, guard us, light our way; and bring this world you have made to its fulfillment according to your will.
All this we ask in the name of your Son Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Gratitudes

December 28, 2013

In October, Pope Francis formally gave permission for Roman Catholic masses in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas to be celebrated in Tzotzil and Tzeltal, the two native languages that are the only languages spoken by 65% of the population – and Christmas masses were for the first time celebrated in those languages.  For this […]
