It seems every day there is another unsettling piece of news. Of killings, coups, political unrest…

And of course for those involved, it is not news, but death, losing your home, your family, your well-being.

Mona Hatoum‘s Hot Spot, presently on display at Tate Modern in London, gives some expression to this.

Let us pray for peace, stability, hope for all. May we enter together into the reign of God, may his will be done, on earth as in heaven.

O God, merciful and strong,
who crush wars and cast down the proud,
be pleased to banish violence swiftly from  our midst
and to wipe away all tears,
so that we may all truly deserve to be called your children.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen.
