And Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry,
“Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”
                                                                      -Luke 1:41b-42

Prayers for Peacemakers, 29 May 2013

God, keep the farmers of Las Pavas, Colombia, safe from rape and abuse. Strengthen your children to protect land, water and air to sustain your beloved community. Bless the fruits of belief in your turning things from corruption to generosity, from cruelty to self-control.
