News from around the world this week (week ending 29 March 2024)–Topics for intention and intercession

Join us for a look at news stories from around the world this week, some of which may not be making the headlines where you are, as we consider where and how we might focus our intentions and prayers. 

Shared intention   

As the full horror of the alleged Islamic State terrorist attack in Moscow last Friday becomes known, we think especially of those grieving and struggling to come to terms with this horrific act: 

We will that all who are grieving loved ones who died or were severely harmed by the attack at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow last week will be held in light, comfortrd, and be strengthened in their time of great sadness. 

As always, we’ll include this intention in our show notes.
