The Prayer of the Mothers
Two religious leaders who are mothers and lovers of peace
came together this past difficult week to compose a new
prayer for peace: The Prayer of the Mothers.
Sheikha Ibtisam Mahameed and
Rabba Tamar Elad-Appelbaum invite us to take their
prayer into our hearts and into the world.
Below is an excerpt from their prayer:
God of Life:
You who heals the broken hearted, binding up our wounds.
Please hear this prayer of mothers.
You did not create us to kill each other
Nor to live in fear or rage or hatred in your world.
You created us so that we allow each other to
sustain Your Name in this world.
