A lovely prayer, Cara. You should consider writing them for religions, some of them need the help. The description in your prayer is worthy of reality. I spent a week in Israel back in 1998 and I was there working for McDonnell Douglas, not vacation. We were mostly in Tel Aviv but since Israel would pretty easily fit in the confines of Connecticut, we got around Caesarea, the Dead sea, Jerusalem etc. But for the most part I was relatively uncomfortable. But then, in Jerusalem, I turned a corner and I suddenly found myself in the Arab quarter. And suddenly I relaxed. The people that were with me got nervous but I just wandered in and started talking to people. I felt I was back in downtown Tehran. The best way to break the ice with an Iranian is to start talking about your family. The Palestinians are the same.
There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.
What a beautifully written prayer, Cara! Words are Mind in Motion (Thoughts) and when acted upon, creating the desired effect the problem or condition becomes manifest in the physical presence. and is resolved or partially resolved.
The Persian Sage, Zarathustra, summed it up in six words: GOOD THOUGHTS, GOOD WORDS, GOOD DEEDS. 63 years later, after reading the passage about him, I'm still struggling with thoughts and words, but at least have an above average grade on my Soul (I think) in Good Deeds.
Getting back to what's actually transpiring in Gaza, now, will the world stay complacent and let the Zionist fanatics continue with the extermination of Palestinians in their own land?
Cara, I join in your beautiful prayer for this vision of peace. Would that we could cast the seeds of peace among the barrenness of a land made cruel through years of hate and fear; from acts understood and seemingly invisible forces, never to be understood.
I don't agree that the murderous cruelty of the Nazi regime is commensurate to the Jewish state's murderous cruelty toward Palestinians. The Jews of all people should have learned better. Heavy reparations are in order, even to the brink of the poverty under which the Palestinians have tried to survive. Atone, I say, in the name of justice.

May this dream come true.

Love to you dear friend. These are unbearably moving words.
