(Since Saturdays in formation houses are usually set aside for community recollections, I hope the Saturday edition of this blog, which focuses on formative rituals, provides some help for the formators in seeking creative formative interventions. Rituals, though a post-modern approach, allow the formands to experience a particular movement or transition, thus a very effective tool to end a processing or a spiritual experience.)
Jewish Prayer for Peace |
| The following is a Prayer for Peace that is traditionally included in the Shabbat (Saturday) service. It is chanted together and a lovely prayer, drawn as most prayers in Judaism, from Biblical sources. May these words come true especially in today's time when our society and church are divided over the issue of truth!) |
| May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease when a great peace will embrace the whole world Then nation shall not threaten nation For all who live on earth shall realize We have come into being Compassionate God, bless all the leaders of all nations Fulfill the promise conveyed in Scripture: "I will bring peace to the land, Let love and justice flow like a mighty stream. Let peace fill the earth as the waters fill the sea. And let us say: Amen |
(Note: today is the birthday of my father Edilberto. Please include his soul in your prayers. Thanks)
