Holy Presence of Peace,
visit our brothers and sisters
in Israel,
in Palestine.
May the awareness,
the understanding,
the love,
the compassion,
the kindness,
the recognition
that we are all
but one tribe;
one people,
one cosmic heart,
dawn upon
those in such terrible
inner conflict:
Those whose inner conflicts
become outer conflicts,
blamed on others.
May the arrows of anger and hatred,
sent forth from
the bows of aggression,
be caught up in Your great wisdom,
and forgiveness,
and mercy.
May peace within and without,
hope and brotherly/sisterly love,
find its way into the hardened hearts
of the aggressors,
who tread upon the tender shores
of those who truly love,
in Israel
and in Palestine.
Amen.
