A PRAYER FOR PEACE AND MERCY IN SYRIA

In this Holy Year of Mercy Syria enters its fifth year of conflict. 250,000 people have lost their lives million people are in need of assistance, including five million children. At least four million people have fled the country since the conflict started on 15 March We stand with Syria and offer a special prayer of peace and mercy for its people.

Creator of all, Your name is mercy!

Hear the cries of the people of Syria

Comfort those who suffer violence, Console those who mourn the dead

Give strength to Syria’s near neighbours to welcome the refugees

Soften the hearts of those who have taken up arms

And protect all who walk with those who suffer

God of Hope, Inspire leaders in the region to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with their enemies

May your gift of mercy give us the courage to raise awareness of their suffering and turn indifference to compassion

Inspire the Universal Church with compassion for the people of Syria

May the Church be your welcoming face; make us a people of mercy

And give us hope for a future built on enduring justice for all

We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and Light of the world. Amen
