Updated LCWR Response and Prayer for the Middle East
We begin our week cognizant of the struggles for peace in so many corners of the globe, in our own communities, and in our own lives. LCWR, through the work of transformation of consciousness, is finding ways to take seriously our collective commitment to contemplative action, awareness, and engagement in the conflicts around us.
LCWR Stands in Solidarity with the People of the Middle East
Since we first heard of the loss of life, violence, imprisonment, and war in Israel and Gaza, we, at LCWR, searched for a way to respond that was true to our commitment to work on the root causes on injustice from a stance of intersectionality and the transformation of consciousness. In the days that have passed, we have reached out to interfaith leaders, representatives of organizations on the front lines in Israel and Gaza, and particularly the Jewish communities in the United States to ask them, "What do you need at this time?”
