>Prayer for Peace in Gaza

Even as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, we are
anguished by stories of violence and conflict once again in Gaza
[www.pcusa.org/worldwide/israelpalestine<http://www.pcusa.org/worldwide/isr aelpalestine>]. Citizens and
soldiers, young people and old are wounded and killed. We
see how violence begets violence, as an eye for an eye
leads not to peace, but to deeper blindness. We pray
fervently for peace, for a New Year marked by a willingness
and commitment to put violence aside and a desire and
dedication to seek new relationships of peace. We pray that
governments and leaders here and there and around the world
will use whatever influence they may have as peacemakers,
and that we, too will have courage and faith to pray
without ceasing and to be agents of justice and peace for
all.
