Abide Service Today
Do join us for our Abide service at 5.30pm today, Sunday 1 March. The theme of today’s service is living in God’s abundance. We will explore this theme through liturgy from the Iona Community, reflections by the Dutch Catholic writer Henri Nouwen, chants from the Taizé Community and times of silence.
A prayer for the Holy Land
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: In your mercy, provide for all those in Gaza and beyond who suffer from hunger and starvation, that they may be given both physical bread to nourish their bodies and heavenly bread to sustain their souls. By the power of your Spirit, bring a speedy end to this cruel war, the release of all captives, care for the sick and wounded, comfort for those who have lost loved-ones, and the opening of a pathway for a just and lasting peace here in the very homeland where your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ministered during his earthly life; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
The Most Reverend Dr Hosam E. Naoum, Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, August, 2025
