Light of faith (e)

We grieve today with those who grieve over Afghanistan, the people who call it home indeed, the people exiled or suddenly having to leave, and the men and women from other countries who have made sacrifices in recent years in the cause of that country’s future.  We pray for peace, dignity, freedom and confidence for the men, women and children of Afghanistan; for courage, vision and generosity within the international community responding to such need; and for tranquility of mind amongst our own service community and its wider family.  In the name of Jesus Christ, the peace-giver, we pray.

Rev. Dr. Marjory MacLean, the Church of Scotland
