A Prayer for World Peace
Lord Jesus, You came that the world might know the peace that You have experienced with the Father eternally. Yet, You taught us that in this life there will be wars and rumors of wars. Nations will rise against nations as violence works itself out in the world. However, through You, the world may be saved. O Lord, send Your spirit into the hearts of all men, that the world might know true peace through Your abundant mercy. Amen.

Pray too for all those who have been displaced by wars and cruel regimes and find themselves hungry, homeless and seeking refuge in other lands where they are sometimes not welcome, remembering that Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus once had to flee and seek refuge.

Heavenly Father, please help and protect all peoples in the UK from storm called Eunice. Thank you for all our blessings. Amen.

EASTER IS HERE


Poem written by Member fitzgarabaldi

Easter Buried – Easter Risen

I stood back in the shadows of the garden on that day
And watched the scenes enfold as he began to pray

He asked the three to watch as he made his final vows
This cup is far to heavy, but your will prevails right now

He truly prayed alone on that fatal night
Their souls perhaps were willing but their bodies just took flight
As Judas joined the others and gave his fatal kiss
The scriptures had been fulfilled, deserted;life dismissed

He was taken to the temple and the evidence was sort
Are you the son of God or has your soul been bought?
And then the cock crowed thrice and Peter wept with shame
Disowned the one who gave him life, his guilt was his own gain

His life hung in the balance as the crowd was urged to press
The choice was with Barabbas, murderer no less
But frenzy had taken all, they wanted purest blood
So the Lamb of God was chosen, on our future faith he stood

He was crowned and robed for death, spat on and struck with blows
Forced to carry cross to crucify, and cursed 'King save yourself, God knows'
They sat and watched his death draw near, until the ninth hour came
Some waiting for a miracle of prophets in his name

He breathed his last and cried out loud 'Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani'
And the temple curtain rent in two was all that they could see
His body taken down was wrapped in linen shroud
And placed in tomb by Joseph for anointment by women proud

But when they came upon the tomb the stone was rolled away
The body gone, 'don't be dismayed, he's gone ahead this day'
He called upon those chosen few rebuked 'don't be afraid
The Christ has risen, preach the news the heavens will be praised'

O Thou kind Lord! Unite all. Let the religions agree and make the nations one, so that they may see each other as one family and the whole earth as one home. May they all live together in perfect harmony. O God!
