Ramadan Prayers for Gaza

The weekly Vigil for Children continues as the death toll in Gaza exceeds 31,000 with no end in sight.   The Holy month of Ramadan begins and prayers are spoken to God and our brethren for the blessings of peace.

Ramadan Prayers for Gazans

Assalam Alaikem, beloved Palestinian brothers and sisters. Our hearts and souls are with you.  You are not alone.  we pray for peace in your homeland. May you be blessed forever.

Thinking of you in Gaza. We want the war to end and the enforcement of your rights to begin.

Give the children peace and protection. Let them find joy again. Make these atrocities end. Give the mothers hope and safe spaces. Let them grieve for children gone and care for children here. Make these atrocities end. Give the people freedom. Make the atrocities end.

I pray that people understand that war just puts the people you love in danger.

Ramadan Kareen I hope that this Ramadan brings you and your loved ones a month of reflection, blessings and peace.

Free the skies of American bombs.

Dean J

I pray to the God of Abraham your courage and your stamina in the midst of intolerable conditions.  I pray that your faith will hold you strong and all the people's actions around the world to end this massacre are heard by our God. That those in power – that their hands and their hearts can bring you peace and succor.  I pray to our God that we do not continue to support this war and that you are not suffering anymore.

Precious brothers and sisters, I send you my prayers and deep wishes for safety, for all your basic necessities to be met, and for peace to exist in your home.  I will continue to demonstrate and write letters to representatives and to fight so our country will stop funding the bombs and let Gaza live

Ramadan Mubarak. I am writing to wish you a peaceful and fulfilling Ramadan. 

I want to apologize on behalf of the U.S. for the weapons we continue to give to Israel and the completely ineffective and disrespectful performative humanitarian aid. 

I hope you know that I pray for you every night for the violence to end, and for Palestine to be free. You are in our thoughts and prayers here in California. We will not stop fighting until Palestine is free. God bless you,

Dear friends across the world, even one drop of a child's blood is too much. This has to stop. I hope we all have the strength in our hearts to make a change soon.

Ray

We are sending prayers and tears daily. Too many good lives lost, too much suffering. We are trying what we can from afar.

Lynne

Ramadan Mubarak – may the love of all God's children extend into the hearts of all and animosity be replaced by the laying down of weapons and the sharing of food and medicine and the freeing of those held in captivity. We pray to end this suffering. 

Scott

Prayers for Palestine and a liberated future for all people.

Mike

I pray that the American people stop the killing of children.
