Prayers for Haiti

written on January 14th, 2010

I share with you A Prayer Written for Haiti by the Rev. Lorraine Ljunggren, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Raleigh, NC:

God of all, on the day of your Son Jesus’ crucifixion, the earth shook and the rocks were rent:
We, your frail and finite creatures, cry out to you for help when the earth beneath our feet quakes
    changing in an instant life as we know it. 
On the wings of your Holy Spirit carry to the people of Haiti our heartfelt prayers and love.
Keep safe those who travel to help in the midst of the earthquake’s aftermath.
Watch over and help heal those who are injured.
Guide the minds and hands of the medical teams who treat the many who are injured.
Inspire your people around the earth to work together to provide shelter, food, and medicines. 
Give peace to the hearts of those who cannot, for a time, speak with those they love,
    whether nearby or far away.
Bless those who have died and receive them into your loving arms.
For these and the unspoken needs which lie in every human heart,
    we ask your holy blessing in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
