Silent Prayer for All

Guest · Mar 17, 2003

I think a silent moment to reflect and hope there will be an absolute minimum of death in Iraq is in order.

No matter how we may feel about Bush's course of action, it's a done deal.

I agree. While I do not support this war, I hope deaths on both sides are kept to a minimum

Hopefully Saddam will go into exile. God watch over our troops.

I pray that both George & Saddam in a rare moment of compassion rid the world of evil with a remarkable symbol of world-peace composed of simutaneously drinking some of that fanatic Christian Kool-aid.

JOEY....glad started this thread EVERYONE inlcuding bush-bashers should all be on the same side on this one...... war should be short as possible with as few casualties as possible...

Yup! Short, quick, no children diying of starvation, no orphans, no widows!
PLEASE !!

Just a little bit of good on our day :

Dear Lord,
we pray for those who will die today
because of war, economic chaos, injustice, and exploitation,
especially the children.

Prepare them for the agony, despair,
and terror of the violence that is upon them. Comfort them and hold them close to the
bosom of thy Wounded Heart as they drink deeply
of the bitter cup which is forced upon them.

Wipe their tears, calm their fears,
welcome them to peace and safety.
Eternal rest grant to them,
and may perpetual light shine upon them.
God, help the helpless,
strengthen the fearful, comfort the sorrowful,
bring justice to the poor, peace to all nations,
and solidarity among all peoples.

Overturn the thrones of tyranny and scatter the unjust.
Cast down the bloody rulers who make the cry of
the widow and orphan rise to heaven.
Teach us to be a refuge of hope for all
who are oppressed by injustice and violence.
Give us strength to stand against the
demonic powers which prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

"President Bush fancies himself a Christian. It's too bad he isn't, but then most Christians would not be recognizable to Christ if he returned to Earth. Peace, love and justice are not very fashionable in many Christian circles these days. Many of them prefer war, provided they don't have to fight it."

Yeah, right !! He can say he is a Christian, but that word is way tooo big for him !! U can NEVER be a real Christian, or belong to any other spiritual group, if you think that with blood you can solve a conflict... what can I say? He's got no heart, no soul.
