Pray with the global church

God of Ancient Paths, we bring before You the uncertainty surrounding St. Catherine’s Monastery. You have been a refuge throughout the generations, and Your faithfulness spans the ages. Establish Your truth and justice in the legal proceedings, and let peace guard the hearts of those who serve and worship within the monastery's walls. Reveal Jesus to those involved in these decisions, that they might act with righteousness and wisdom. Strengthen the believers in Egypt, letting their light shine before all people, that they may see Your good works and glorify You. We ask for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done in this situation, trusting in Your unfailing love. Amen.
