earthquake that struck on Tuesday,
January 12, 2010

Almighty God, merciful Father, we pray
for the people affected by
earthquakes in Haiti. Keep all who have
been afflicted by this calamity
from despair and do not let their faith
fail them, but sustain and comfort
them. Direct all efforts to attend the
injured, console the bereaved, and
protect the helpless. Deliver any who are
still in danger, and bring hope
and healing that we may find relief and
restoration. Amen

quake hit, and is keeping
