Peace,
Oh Jerusalem,
Peace
Oh, Jerusalem!
The bleached bones of your stones stand steadfast as the
world attempts to dislodge you.
Your people look up, alert for falling debris, and then scurry for cover under man-made trenches.
But you, Oh Jerusalem, are built on the foundations of God’s
will--stand upright.
Even if your people fall into the shadow of treachery and
war, you will gleam in the Light.
If humanity turns against you as in the days of Rome, you
will not be abandoned.
Oh, Jerusalem, twist your staggering glory toward the
eastern sky. Watch for your King is near.
You are His holy city. He comes to bring you Peace.
Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.
May
there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
For
the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within
you." (Psalm 122:6-8 NIV)
Seek the Mystery,
