Hump Day prayers this week are for several international, interfaith situations. Let's remember in our prayers:
* the ongoing case of the missing plane off the coast of Malaysia.
* the ongoing situation in Ukraine, where Russian forces have seized control of the Crimean peninsula and are amassing troops near Ukraine's eastern frontier.
* the violence this week near Ramallah, where a Palestinian youth was killed by Israeli soldiers and Palestinians have fired on an Israeli settlement near that community.
* the crisis in Syria, entering its fourth year.
* the continuing crisis situation with ethnic Rohingya in Myanmar.
* the anti-government protests and violence continue in Venezuela.
* the continuing relief and rebuilding efforts in the Philippines, in the aftermath of November's typhoon.
* In happier news, the colorful festival of Holi is ongoing in India this week.
(The idea of "Hump Day Prayers" came from my college friend's blog "Le Padre Ver Livre," http://jimkane.wordpress.com.)
