Today is the Feast Day of the Martyrs of the Sudan, over two - TopicsExpress



          

Today is the Feast Day of the Martyrs of the Sudan, over two million persons, most of them Christians, who were killed in a two-decade war that followed a small number of Episcopal and Roman Catholic clerical and lay leaders who declared they would not abandon God as they knew him. Despite the signing of a peace treaty in 2005, the violence in the Sudan continues, reverberating to Nigeria where the front page news around the world follows the kidnapping of over 300 school girls. In solidarity with these families and with all those who continue to suffer the violence in the Sudan, in Nigeria, and throughout Gods world, let us pray a prayer composed by some exiled Sudanese children living in exile in Egypt: Look upon us, O Creator who has made us. God of all peoples, we are yearning for our land. Hear the prayer of our souls in the wilderness. Hear the prayer of our bones in the wilderness. Hear our prayer as we call out to you. In Gods Holy Name, Amen. ~Ema Cynthia+
