As news comes out this morning about the 7.9 earthquake in Nepal today, I ask you to join me in praying for the families impacted by this tragedy and for the aid workers who are rushing to provide relief. Catholic Relief Services has provided this prayer:
Loving God,
We pray for all those affected by the earthquake in Nepal as we offer the words of the psalmist, “Be strong and take heart, all who hope in the Lord” (Psalm 31:25).
May those who are paralyzed by fear…
Be strong and take heartMay those who have lost or are still searching for loved ones …
Be strong and take heartMay those who remain trapped under rubble …
Be strong and take heartMay those rescue workers who provide relief and recovery …
Be strong and take heartMay those who are moved with compassion to help …
Be strong and take heartGod, whose love knows no bounds,
fill all those who suffer with your comfort and peace.
We ask all this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
