Yassar Arafat said has been quoted as saying,
"Peace will not come to
the Middle East without a million strong prayers."
Author James Twyman and one million others intend to do
exactly that! Please go to the Emissary of
Light, and take a few minutes to write a one line prayer there.
You can see from the counter at this web site which prayer number yours is
(mine was number 59,407). In the 30 minutes it took me to write this
article, I noticed that 30 more prayers were recorded at the web site.
When one million prayers of peace have been recorded on the
web site, James Twyman, author of PRAYING PEACE, will travel to Israel with
a scroll that contains all the prayers to be presented to President Arafat
and President Barak.
Mr. Twyman recently visited Jerusalem to help focus a worldwide prayer
vigil for peace in the Middle East. Hundreds of Thousands of people joined
the vigil, many of them linking live to Jerusalem via
http://www.worldpuja.org
Several days later, Twyman read a newspaper article that
included an offhand remark made by Yassar Arafat that peace will not come
to the Middle East without a million strong prayers. Twyman realized that
in this internet age, we are extremely fortunate to be able to
self-organize one million prayers, and added this spectacular feature to
the Emmissary of Light web site at:
It is very simple to write take a few minutes to feel peace
within yourself and write a heart-felt prayer. When the web site prayer
counter reports that one million prayers have been gathered, a copy of each
and every single prayer will be produced on an enormous scroll, which will
then be brought to Israel.
While it's true that millions of people have participated in
many recent prayer vigils, never before (to my knowledge) has anyone
recorded the exact number of people who were participating. When one
million prayers of peace have been gathered for the Middle East, I believe
we will have achieved something truly wonderful.
Your prayer really does count, and will make a difference.
