10/11/2020(1 event) ![]() World Science Day for Peace and Development Here's a video (2:10) created in 2020 which outlines what World Science Day for Peace and Development is all about:
A PRAYER FOR TODAY - AVAILABLE HERE AS A 75 second VIDEO Creator God, we give thanks for the wonders of creation which science helps us understand and appreciate.
Give inspiration to all doing scientific research – as they search for insight and truth; Give determination to all who apply science - in helping us live life in all its fullness; Give wisdom to decision makers - that science might always be used for the betterment of all who share this Common Home.
We pray that science be instrumental in bringing us to that day when we will all live in peace; using, conserving and sharing equitably - the resources of this planet.
We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN

11/11/2020(1 event) ![]() So what about the silence?
Here's how this poem came to be written: Lord of the nations - We remember with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy but who did not return!
Help us recognise the debt we owe them so that we may strive, in our own lives, to protect the freedoms that were won at so great a cost.
And so we commit to your safekeeping those who have died in war; those whose memory we treasure; those who have sacrificed themselves in the service of humankind.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. AMEN

As we reach out with love and support, let us hold all members of our global family in our prayers. You may wish to watch and share Vladimir from Bolivia's prayer video above with your friends and family. You might also consider whether you are in a position to support others financially. Perhaps, you might consider in the run up to Christmas either asking for or making a World Gift!
