Pray for and with the Church of Jerusalem

On the Vigil of Pentecost, the Jerusalem Churches will call upon the Spirit with one voice.  On June 11, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. Holy Land time, the Latin Catholic Church will host the sixth Extraordinary Prayer of all Churches for Reconciliation, Unity and Peace, beginning in and proceeding from Jerusalem. The prayer will be presided over by His Beatitude Fouad Twal, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, from the Latin Patriarchate Church in the Holy City.

This year all Christians celebrate Pentecost on the same date which makes for a particularly joyful and united intercessory prayer.  Let us join in prayer with our brothers and sisters in Christ.



For the peace of Jerusalem pray: "May those who love you prosper!
May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers."
For family and friends I say, "May peace be yours."
For the house of the LORD, our God, I pray, "May blessings be yours."
Psalm 122
