Holocaust Memorial Day Together We Pray 27.01.22

Today St Mary's remembers

Today we all joined together to say the Diocese Holocaust Memorial Day prayer along with other adults children around the diocese.

 

Dear God

We thank you that we live in a safe country where we can be ourselves without being hurt by others.

Today we especially remember people who suffered in the Holocaust, or have been hurt by others just because they are hated for being themselves.

We pray that they may feel brave because you love and care for them.

Please give us the courage to stand together when we know things are wrong.

We pray that people who are filled with hatred, especially against Jewish people, may have a change of heart and show kindness in the world instead.

We ask all this in Jesus’ name.

Amen
