Let us pray for Syria!

[George]

   God is our shelter and strength,
      always ready to help in times of trouble.
  So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken
      and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
  even if the seas roar and rage,
      and the hills are shaken by the violence.

There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
      to the sacred house of the Most High.
  God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed;
      at early dawn he will come to its aid.
 Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken;
      God thunders, and the earth dissolves.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
      the God of Jacob is our refuge.

 Come and see what the Lord has done.
      See what amazing things he has done on earth.
 He stops wars all over the world;
      he breaks bows, destroys spears,
      and sets shields on fire.

         Stop fighting, he says,
         and know that I am God,
      supreme among the nations,
      supreme over the world.  

 The Lord Almighty is with us;
      the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Psalm 46

 God our Father in Heaven.
Hear us as we cry out to You  on behalf of the defenseless people of Syria.
Protect your people Lord, stop the sensless war, the slaughter of the innocent;
You are Our God and You Will guides our lives. We love You, we adore You and we glorify You.
We pray to You, through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour .
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!

AMEN, AMEN!

[George]

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain,
and when he sat down his disciples came to him.
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.'
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied"
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God."
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you
and utter all kinds of evil against you on my account.
Rejoice and be glad,for your reward is great in heaven."
For so men persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Lord have mercy on Syria and the world

Our Father who art in heaven
hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
Amen

O Holy Virgin
in the midst of your days of glory
do not forget the sorrows of this earth.
Cast a merciful glance upon those
who are struggling with difficulties
with their lips pressed against life's bitter cup.
Have pity on those who love each other and are separated.
Have pity on our rebellious hearts.
Have pity on our weak faith.
Have pity on those who weep
on those who pray,
on those who fear.
Grant hope and peace to all
especially in this day
the innocents in Syria
Amen

[odhiambo]

God Our Father,
To  you, have  we lifted up our eyes.
Our eyes, like the eyes of slaves on the hand of their lords,
like the eyes of a servant on the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes are on You, Our Father,
till You hear our cry and show us mercy.
Amen!

[George]

Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, spare us O Lord

Amen
