The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month was the official ending of the First World War. So
Remembrance Sunday is always the Sunday nearest to the 11th

Iraq and Afghanistan.
“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends”John 15:13

Peace is not the absence of war. It is people becoming different.
(Mother Theresa)r
Lord,
remember not only the men and women of g!d wi" but
also those of evil wi". But do not remember a" the
su#ering they have inflicted upon us; remember
the fruits we have borne thanks to this su#ering-
Our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our
courage, our generosity, the greatne$ of heart
which has grown out of a" this;and when they come
to judgement, let a" the fruits that we have borne
be their forgivene$.
An eye for an eye and soon the whole world will be blind.(Mahatma Ghandi)
Take some time this week, to remember all those who have given their lives to bring a chance of peace in our world.Think about how you can bring peace into our world?
This prayer was found scri%led on a piece
of paper near the body of a dead child at
Ravensbruck concentration camp.
“Happy are the peacemakers: they shall be called be sons of God.”Matthew 5:8
