Prayers for Peacemakers, February 13, 2013

Lord, restore dignity
to those who demolish homes, irrigation systems and olive groves, who practice
bombing and shooting all night near residential areas, or oppress by other
weapons from the arsenal of occupation.  By
the prayers of the faithful, from intended oppression, fashion Beloved
Community.
