The World Day of Prayer is an ecumenical movement inspired by the motto “Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action.” We follow the example of Jesus Christ, who prayed with compassion and love for peace in our fractured world.
The theme is “I Beg You... Bear With One Another in Love,” and calls us to patiently support each other with generosity and compassion, despite all difficulties and oppression.
The Palestinian Christian women who wrote this worship service have invited the world to pray for peace, justice and freedom of religion and freedom of movement. They have called us all to be united in treating everyone with justice, understanding and love.
Please join us on Friday, March 1 at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Grendon Street, North Mackay at 10 am to worship and pray together for peace in our troubled world.
