So much has been lost. So much is at stake.

May all hostages be returned.

So much has been lost. So much is at stake.

May all who are still among the living be able to access clean water, shelter, food, and medical care.

So much has been lost. So much is at stake.

May we humans learn that we are interdependent, that whatever we do to one, we do to ourselves.

So much has been lost. So much is at stake.

May all come to know that violence is not sustenance and broken promises do not nourish.

So much has been lost. So much is at stake.

May we be brave enough to imagine a true and lasting peace and may the working towards it transform us all.

Too much has been lost. So much is at stake.

with prayers for all beings,
Rev. Lynn and Rev. Wendy
