Last week, the Episcopal Church of Jerusalem and the Middle East issued a statement condemning the closure of Al-Ahli Anglican hospital in Gaza due to Israeli military activity and evacuation orders in the area. Likewise, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem issued a statement condemning Israeli military activity against the Sacred Family School in Gaza. Thankfully, the Al-Ahli hospital managed to reopen partially on Thursday the 11th of August.
• Holy God, we are grateful for the Church institutions who serving the people of Gaza. Lord, bless those who strive to provide shelter and healing to the oppressed. May their example ignite within us a passion to show our love through service to all, especially the oppressed and afflicted. We pray that the global Church awakens and uses its power to advocate for truth and justice.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
