Advent Cycle of Prayer

from anglican.ca: The Churches Beyond Borders Communion (churches in full communion with each other: Canadian Anglicans, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)) has created a Cycle of Prayer for this Advent season, featuring prayers each day for partners in the Holy Land. For the four Sundays of Advent, prayers were written personally by the Presiding/National/Primatial bishops of the four churches, focusing on themes of truth, justice, peace and hope.

Thanks to @zawyeh on Instagram for work and artist information: "Sliman Mansour‘s work titled Symbol of Hope is an uplifting depiction of the Palestinian spirit, resilience, and the longing for peace in a land marred by conflict. Mansour conveys a powerful message of optimism, showing that despite the challenges and hardships faced, the Palestinian people continue to seek a future where peace and harmony can take flight like a white dove in the sky.
