The link below should give you a pdf version of the Peace Prayer List 2.0, just in time for the Friday fast and this weekend’s 4th of July fast!

Peace Prayer List 2.0

Prayer List for Peace

Please offer your comments and suggestions.  What have I left out, what have I messed up?  I’ve begun to put an order to things, but it is not comprehensive or final.  Also, does anyone want to help me make this into a litany?  I see this is as the basis of prayer list that can not only be used in our prayer and fasting, but could be sent out as an email list, smuggled into churches, etc.  But, obviously I can’t do that without my genius friends.

We fast on the holy days of the empire. Some of us also fast every Friday, some of us less, some of us more. We spend these fasted meal times praying for the end of armed conflict in our world. We also pray that hatred, racism, vengence and the will to do violence are removed from our hearts as well as the hearts of all people.

All are welcome here.

We also a have a facebook group.
