Kerala Churches offer prayers for country
Churches in Kerala offered special prayers for the country as it faces an 'unprecedented crisis and threat of war.' In an appeal ahead of Sunday (May 11), Catholicos of the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church Baselios Thomas I urged Church members to pray for the nation and offer special prayers after the Sunday Mass.
Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church Raphael Thattil, in his appeal, said that as citizens, all Indians must pray for peace to prevail in the country.
He added that while the country's leaders kept vigil alongside soldiers, every citizen must pray for the nation, the soldiers safeguarding it, and those living in fear along the borders.
