MatinsThe beautiful piece of music that for all of us today brings to mind and honours the victims of the Holocaust.
Special Prayer
Eternal God, you hold all of our days in your hands.
On this day, we come before you to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
We lament the loss of the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust,
the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution, and other genocides.
May our minds be clear and attentive to their memory
and our hearts be moved to bear witness to their lives.
Today, help us to remember and recognise the sanctity of each human life,
that all people are made in Your image.
One day, we pray that genocide and hatred will be no more,
and that love will triumph over evil.
In our prayers and in our actions,
help us to show this love in the world today.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
As we go from this house of prayer into a world of challenge and change
We remember the pain of the past.
As we obey God’s commandments and follow Christ’s way,
We recognise life’s need for love.
As we seek the truth and glimpse God in all people and all places,
We go, to make the world a home for everyone.
Amen.
Benediction
May we go in peace,
Holding the memory of others in our hearts,
Firm in the knowledge of the grace, hope and love of God.
Amen.
