Pray for Peace

 I thought it ironic that in my meditative reading this morning, Jerusalem is sought after as a city of peace.  Psalm 122 is a pilgrim's prayer traveling to Jerusalem.

For the peace of Jerusalem pray:

"Peace be to your homes!

May peace reign in your walls,

in your palaces, peace!"

For love of my brethren and friends

I say: "Peace upon you!"

For love of the house of the Lord

I will ask for your good.
