These are the faces of the 24 men presumed alive and held hostage in Gaza. Take a moment to look into the eyes of each one and pray for his safe release.
Then, light a candle and pray for your ‘adopted’ hostage - that father or son, husband or partner, brother or friend - with whom you are especially connected through the mystery of prayer, love, community.
We trust that our prayers make a difference. Thank you for continuing to unite in prayer!
God of liberation / We out cry to you: Save our brothers and bring them home now! / Be close to them in the darkness of their ordeal, and with their families in their agony. / May a way forward for peace and security be found soon, for the sake of all who are suffering so terribly in this war. / And may we be part of the solution. / Amen
