In our world, 56 million people die daily.Eleven million of these are children.On a daily average - 154, 000 people die each day. Many die alone without benefit of family, friends, or even medical support. Will you join us in praying for those who die each day?
There are many to pray for: men, women and children are subject to ruthless violence, and their deaths are unrecorded.Others die from the high mortality rate of HIV-AIDS. Still others from age, chronic illness, accidents and suicide. Each member of the human family is made in the image and likeness of God. None of us deserves to die alone, or uncared for. Join us in praying for those of our world who TODAY, need your prayer and your presence in their lives.
Will you join us in prayer for them? Will you companion us, as we pray for the dying of the world? If you would like to join us, then simply let your mind expand to gather in the poor, the lonely, the sick, the ill, the suffering of the world. Gather your consciousness of the needs of those who are dying at this moment. Let stillness hold you, as you, in spirit, hold those who are dying and pray for them, and with them, as they face the last letting go.....
.....the following prayers are provided for you. They can provide a means of getting in touch with the reality that our brothers and sisters are in need, and give us words in which to wrap our longing for God to be with those who are facing death, and those who have died.
