A Prayer for Holocaust Memorial Day

Loving God, holy and immortal,
on this Holocaust Memorial Day
forgive us whenever we are slow to acknowledge rising hatred against the other
and fail to act to protect the vulnerable, leading to catastrophe.

Loving God, holy and immortal
may we always remember and mourn the six million Jewish children, women and men,
murdered at Auschwitz- Birkenau, Treblinka, Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Majdanek, Babyn Yar and in so many other places.

Loving God, holy and immortal
may we never forget all those murdered by the Nazi regime,
those with disabilities, gay women and men, communists and other political opponents, Roma and Sinti people, Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Loving God, holy and immortal,
on this day we remember and mourn those killed in genocides
across the globe, Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Cambodia.

We pray for peace and an end to all war and violence,
help us to see one another as you see us,
all your children, precious and beloved.

Amen

In the wilderness, Jesus reminded us that people don’t live by bread alone.

Each week during Lent, we’ll reflect on what sustains us, based on the lectionary Gospel passage for Sunday.

Action for hope

The climate emergency is one of the most pressing concerns in the world today, but it is not merely a secular one. As Christians and Methodists we are called to care for God’s creation and challenge injustice, so climate concerns are inherently missional and part of our discipleship.

And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8

Challenging the injustices of the world

Seeking justice

As Christians we’re called to seek God’s justice. Justice that enables everyone, and all creation, to flourish. Justice that removes everything that diminishes people, that oppresses or exploits them. Justice that enables us all to grow in relationship with each other and with God.

Building real friendships in diverse communities

Exploring spirituality

Methodists believe God is For All. Different people experience God in different ways – that's how God works! We love real conversations about life with diverse people, in unexpected places – like the Edinburgh Fringe, Silverstone Grand Prix, and your local coffee shop or pub. We're starting new kinds of communities exploring God together.
