Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate, is inviting the global community to accompany her in her 40-day fast in solidarity with the children of Gaza. In a brief video, Mairead explains her reasons for fasting. If you are able to join Mairead’s fast for one day or more, you can sign up here.
God of compassion, we lift up all those who, inspired by Mairead Maguire, will join her in this fast in solidarity with the children of Gaza. May their bodies and acts of solidarity bear witness to the hunger for peace and justice that fills the hearts of many. Strengthen their resolve, sustain them in their sacrifice, and deepen their connection to the suffering of those they stand with.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
