If this video shakes you up, it might be an invitation to pray and research, meditate and ponder further.  We need to be able to explain our Faith - its good points and its failures.  We need to be able to listen to both sides of a question dispassionately -with detachment with logic and reason.

The above programs are more general knowledge than anything - general knowledge with twists of the funny.

PRAYER FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

God of Mercy and Compassion, of Peace and Reconciliation, pour your Power on all Your children in the Middle East: Jews, Muslims and Christians, Palestinians and Israelis.   Let hatred be turned into Love, fear to trust, despair to Hope, oppression to freedom that violent encounters may be replaced by loving embraces and that Justice may be experienced by all.  AMEN

Urgent Prayer for Peace

God of Compassion We turn to you with heavy hearts, As we consider the needs of your family, Israelis and Palestinians, we are all your people, Each of us loved by you, And called to live in peace and justice.                                                                                               We lament the dreadful loss of life, Destruction of property and loss of human dignity, We are pained by so much suffering. We beg you to bring healing to this ancient place. Help your people find a way forward. Enable everyone to look each other in the eye, And embrace each other as sisters and brothers, As they find your image in every face.                                                                                We ask that courage and grace Will help create a wiser and more gentle future, Where everyone has a home.                                                                                                       God of wisdom, come to our aid. Amen

Father Carter Griffin, rector of St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, D.C., said most of the young men coming to his seminary are looking to be “part of the solution … they want to make themselves available for the needs of the Church.”
