Prayers for Egypt

As the conflict in Egypt intensifies, Vancouver Archbishop J. Michael Miller released a statement Jan. 31 asking the faithful to remember the people of the Middle East in their prayers.

“During this time of turmoil in Egypt and other countries, I ask you to keep all the people of the Middle East in your prayers.

“In a special way, please remember the Christian communities in those lands where religious freedom is under constant threat. For many of them, the persecution they face is being compounded with the instability and violence of recent days.

“Especially now, it is important that all Christians join in solidarity with our persecuted brothers and sisters, and pray that true justice and peace will soon flourish in Egypt and all the countries of the world.”
