Apocalypse 15:1-4; Psalm 98; Luke 21: 12-19

Pray for others

It is impossible to understand why some people not only refuse to practise any faith themselves, but actively try to prevent others from practising theirs. The behaviour of those who insist theirs is the only path to God and persecute others for following different roads is also incomprehensible – unless, of course, they are being led by Satan.

Dear Lord, may there be harmony between all people who worship in your holy name. May our prayers help loosen Satan’s grasp on our brothers and sisters, so they turn to you in the spirit of love and reconciliation.
