“Bearing in mind that much of the weaponry used by both sides has been supplied by companies [who exhibited] at the DSEi Arms Fair, [which was] held at the ExCel Centre in London from 7th to 14th September 2013, the bidding prayers that Pax Christi has produced for this time are of particular relevance:
• We pray for each of the women, children and men who have been killed or injured by weapons sold by companies more concerned with making money than with making peace in our troubled world. May we, who witness on our television screens glimpses of their suffering, demand that our government curb the arms trade… Lord, hear us…
• We pray for the people who finance, produce and sell weapons. May your compassion touch their hearts and minds and redirect their skills and talents to life-giving projects… Lord, hear us…”
