Praying for the Middle East

Let us pray today for the countries and people in the Middle East region, in particular Libya and Egypt where more violence has been reported in retaliation for some offensive video circulating on the Internet. As much as social media are a blessing to all of us, they can also be an instrument of instigation and can lead to hatred, violence and death, as we have seen over the past few days. The best we can do at this moment is to pray, for peace in the region, for the avoidance of confrontation between rivals, and for common sense to reign. May all religions collaborate together under one God, instead of clash in His name. May harmony reign soon again in the Mediterranean region, with the hopes that Malta, as always will act as a peace-maker, as it has always done.
