Upheaval in the Ukraine. Upheaval in Israel. The deep complications.

I am deeply thankful for prayer, and for the prayers of the Church! A collect for the world from the Book of Common Prayer 2019:

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
