call to prayer for atheists and Muslims and Franciscans
In the last few days reading a lot of atheist and Islamist action against Christmas. It is often offensive actions, sometimes there are also acts of violence against Christians. Very quickly is one of the words of Jesus (Mt 10.32-39) is reminiscent of indicating that he will offend as a peacemaker, and thus the target of hatred and persecution. And his fate shared by all who follow Him. The hatred of Muslims and atheists shows the wrong way, not who must hate because he is filled with love is the right way.
atheists and Muslims know that God is love. Therefore, they could not be filled with love, they are full of hate and my hatred only be expressed in these actions against Christians. We Christians must help these people, so my call to all Christians:
praying for Muslims and Atheists. If you know of Muslims and atheists, then refer you directly in prayer on it, build your name.
The prayer you choose free, of course you can use or modify well-known prayers. The "Our Father" for example is very good.
Mt 10.32-39
32 who now acknowledges me before men, to which I will also confess before my Father in heaven.
33 but whoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 Think not that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 For I am come to divide the son with his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter with her mother;
36 and the household of a person to be his enemies.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.
