Prayers for Peacemakers, December 9, 2015

Give thanks that Canada is finally launching a national
inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Pray for the
inquiry to be fully equipped, empowered and lead by the families, and that it
will bring Canada’s legacy of colonial misogyny into the light.

*Epixel for Third Sunday in Advent, December 13, 2015
From a February 2014 March for Murdered and Missing Women and Girls.

 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflicts you: and I will save her who is lame,
and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land
 where they have been put to shame.

At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you:
for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth,
when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the Lord.  Zephaniah 3:19-20 KJV (adapted)

The gates at the entrances of West Bank cities: division and daily hardship

B.O.S

Across the occupied West Bank including major cities like Hebron (Al-Khalil), Nablus, Ramallah, and many towns and villages, Israeli forces have significantly increased the installation of heavy metal gates and military checkpoints at entrances to Palestinian communities. These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
