World Science Day for Peace and Development

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

Armistice Day


11/11/2021

So what about the silence?

 

 

This is one of the most famous poems of the First World War - CLICK HERE to listen to In Flanders' Fields.

Here's how this poem came to be written:

A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY

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

Loving God,

If I cannot be brilliant, let me be kind.

If I cannot change the world, let me inspire just one other to do so.

If I cannot give away riches, let me be loving.

Let me be known for kindness, for it is the greatest glory. 

Amen

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Loving God,

we hold before you all who are living with or are affected by diabetes

and ask you to ease suffering and to quiet fears. 

 

We give thanks for their fortitude and ability to organise

and ask you to give them strength and encouragement.

 

We pray for those researching treatments and cures,

that they will use their skills and knowledge,

finding the inspiration to make diabetes a thing of the past.

 

We pray this in the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
