Daily Prayer - March 15 2023

This is the anniversary of the Christchurch massacre in 2019.  An attack on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers resulted in the deaths of 51 people with many more injured. It was carried out by a lone gunman whose intention was to kill as many Muslims as he could and then burn down the mosques. He had plans to attack a third mosque but was detained before he could do so.

 

Loving God,

it is hard for most people to understand the kind of hate that would lead to someone murdering complete strangers because of their race and/or religion.

We ask that tolerance and understanding might replace hatred in people’s hearts.

We pray for those areas of the world were people face persecution and even death because of their ethnicity, race or religion.

Amen
