Prayers

Prayer for the Children of Democratic Republic of the Congo

"Lord Jesus, as a child you faced death at the hands of a brutal dictator.  As a pastoral

minister you showed special concern for children.  As countless children face imminent

death in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the face of the Ebola virus we raise

our voices on their behalf.  Send your healing Spirit upon them  so that they might enjoy

the fullness of life on this earth.  May the angel that protected you and your parents

on their flight to Egypt protect these children in our day
