as we pray …
- for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas
- for the resumption of humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza through Catholic Relief Services
- for the Israeli innocents who live in fear of Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket attacks on civilian areas
- for the Palestinian innocents who live in fear for their lives from air and ground attacks or suffer the humiliations of occupation
- for the avoidance of excessive actions of hostility and indiscriminate punishment which can breed a whole new generation of terrorists
- for the emergence of a viable and independent Palestinian state living alongside a recognized and secure Israel which will bring the peace for which majorities of both Israelis and Palestinians yearn
