Metanoia is a Greek word that means to change. Usually it's used when talking about religion. It translate into repentance or conversion. St. Augustine experienced metanoia when he converted to Christianity.
I believe we can change history with prayer. This is why I'm asking everyone to pray for a Christmas Truce from December 25--January 19. God makes history but the future depends on what we do know and know we pray.
Please pray for a Christmas Truce in Ukraine. As a people of faith and conscience, we pray for peace, at least for this sacred time of the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Please pray for Pope Francis and Patriarch Krill to call for a cessation of war from Christmas to "Little Christmas", January 7.
This was done during the First World War. We urge all leaders, government and spiritual leaders, to take a leading role in bringing the war in Ukraine to an end through supporting calls for a ceasefire and negotiated settlement.
We ask this through Jesus, Our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer.
