This is a piece of artwork created by many of the children at a recent interfaith weekend for families held at Corrymeela. The theme of the weekend was Ubuntu, the idea that “I am because we are” or another way to say it is “we belong to each other”.
A Prayer in Times of Violence
God of all humanity
in times of violence
we see how inhuman we can be.
We pray for those who, today, are weighed down by grief.
We pray for those who, yesterday, were weighed down by grief.
And the day before,
and all the days before the day before.
We pray, too, for those who help us turn towards justice and peace.
Turn us all towards justice and peace.
because we need it.
Amen.
