Amen.

Can we also please pray for the Arab Christians caught in the middle?

I see on the other threads the consideration of Israeli nuclear action against such targets as Beirut and Damascus if Syria steps in to the conflict. My own Orthodox Christian Patriarch resides in Damascus, and there are numerous Orthodox seminaries and monasteries in Lebanon. Please remember the suffering Christians of these lands in your prayers.

Christ Bless.

Yes, we need to pray for the Peace of Israel (and may He come soon).

Amen. For them, and for the rest of us that will be drawn in to the conflict.

John 17:7 Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee; 8 for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; 10 all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20 "I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Indeed ...For all of those in danger..we need to pray

[MarMema]

For all people in danger or suffering, for those who are weary and frightened, for an end to terrorism.....
and for our Orthodox brothers and sisters across the world, and for peace,
Lord, we beg for your mercy.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.

Yes, for all the innocents caught up in the madness.
