Kyrkornas världsråd uppmärksammar att vi har levt med pandemin i ett år och inbjuder oss alla till en vecka med bön med anledning av Covid19-pandemin
”The week of prayer is convened with WCC member churches and ecumenical partners, and will share prayers and spiritual resources produced in response to the pandemic.”, från Kyrkornas världsråds webbsida Https://www.oikoumene.org/events/week-of-prayer-on-covid-19-pandemic.
Under veckan sänder Kyrkornas världsråd bönegudstjänster online med deltagare från de olika regionerna världen över. Från den 18 mars finns material och böner, som delats från hela världen inför veckan, tillgängliga på Kyrkorna världsråds webbsida. Ärkebiskop Antje Jackelén har bidragit med bönen här nedan och som gärna får delas och användas.
Låt oss be tillsammans
God of life, God of compassion,
as the pandemic continues to shake our world, we turn to you. We give thanks for the gifts of perseverance and creativity, for care given and vaccines developed, for cries heard and comfort received.
We come to you with all our worries: for loved ones, for societies, for jobs and economies, and for how the most vulnerable among us are being affected. Transform unrest and fear into love and care. Give us courage, wisdom, and energy to change what needs to be changed.
Trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray
for the sick and those who are caring for them,
for safe and fair distribution of vaccines,
for those who mourn and those who suffer from loneliness,
for those who must take difficult decisions that affect many,
for international cooperation in the service of justice and peace,
for spiritual leadership that is faithful to your will.
In your mercy, help us to hold on to what is right, true and beautiful. Through Jesus Christ, whom we have come to know as our Saviour and Healer.
Amen.
