 Tonight I am praying for the innocents - the women, men, and especially the children - caught up in the conflict between Hamas and Israel. 

There are a lot of people right now, suffering for something they didn’t choose, ask for, or provoke, on both sides of that conflict. If you’re a believer, I ask you to join me in praying for relief and protection for those people.

 I'm not but I've been thinking about them a lot. It's so heartbreaking.  
 It’s so easy to forget the schoolgirl, the shop keeper, and the farmer. The people like us, who wish they could just feed their families and watch their children grow in peace. We must not forget.

One more reason for us to start the daily rosary on Nostrnest. 
 That's a cool idea. I like it. Might be hard to be on at the same time.

 I listened to The Daily podcast episode called "Voices of Gaza" yesterday and hearing them describe their experience... One of the women I could tell was such a bubbly, happy person in her everyday life outside of this conflict.

Everyday people dying because of geopolitics. 
 As long as there has been man, there has been war. As a Christian, I dream of the glorified Kingdom of Christ, and an end to earthly kingdoms and rulers and petty squabbles. 

But believer or not, we can stand together in memory of those lost, and in solidarity with those who suffer. I’ve long thought about what my opinion would be about this conflict, and realized today that the world doesn’t need another opinion. The best thing I can do is pray for the suffering. 
 Different beliefs, same values my friend 💜 I'm with you 
 I find it impossible to have an opinion. How can I? I have not spent a day in either’s shoes. I know what I am capable of. Of what all humans are capable of and to say I would choose different fails to acknowledge what drives a person to hatred and to commit acts of violence. I think of the children and the trauma. There is no post traumatic stress, because there is no post. There is just trauma. It will take generations for these children to heal, but they will.  
 Very well said wolf 🐺💜💜

 Rivers of #blood are the only path to peace in #Israel and historic #Palestine..💀 
 🙏 
 Well said. I’m in. 🫂 
 There are no winners in war, sadly too many losers 😢💜 
 Sad but true. Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that whenever society places people into positions of power, they more often than not end up doing more harm than good? 
 You can cut some sleep. You don't need that much. Neither you need leisure time. 
 Lovely idea, but I fear it’s impractical to do daily. However I could make arrangements to do it perhaps once or twice on the weekend. 
 God's grace and patience has ended. It's time for his wrath..👺👹🔥💀✝️😇 
 The Innocents will go to heaven. The guilty will go to hell. And the meek shall inherit the earth..😊
