…Mottram church and distant stratocumulus
In next Sunday’s Lectionary, Jesus speaks about the road to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the holy and tragic city where prophets are killed, as Jesus was to be. Jerusalem remains a tragic city, contested by different faiths, because of its significance in those faiths.
Jerusalem is not the only tragic city – there are many right now, in Ukraine and beyond.
God of truth and mercy,
even when all hope is gone,
we pray to you;
give peace,
give justice,
give hope once again.
