Pray with the global church

Ancient of Days, we lift up St. Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt, a testimony to Your enduring faithfulness through the centuries. It stands as a witness to Your presence in the world, yet faces threats from those driven by earthly desires. Guard this sacred place from destruction and let its walls continue to proclaim Your truth and peace. May it be a sanctuary of joy, laughter, and continual praise. Reveal the light of Christ to those who plan harm, turning their hearts toward repentance and life. Sustain the believers who keep vigil, and let those who visit be drawn to the beauty of holiness rather than ambition. May Your righteousness shine like the dawn, bringing justice and peace to the land. In the name of Jesus, our Cornerstone, Amen.
