Since September 1980, the European Parliament Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast has met every Wednesday. All are welcome. Each person chooses a passage from the Bible. The group discusses the choices over breakfast, ending with prayers for countries, colleagues, individuals or issues. The breakfast ends with the participants reciting the Lord's Prayer in their own language. This week, it was the morning after the Strasbourg shooting. All the prayers and wishes were for the victims of this horrible act of violence against humankind.
