Please Continue to Pray for Earthquake Victims

The rebuilding process is a slow and painstaking one. First, there have been rains in the affected areas! Drinking water is still very scarce. Here are some pictures take by our diocesan staff working in the area. Note the single mother with all her possessions: her daughter and two mattresses. I wonder how she does it? If she leaves the mattresses, someone will steal them!

An English prayer from before the Reformation adapted for our situation:

We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee, because by thy holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world. O Saviour of the world: who by thy Cross and precious Blood hast redeemed them, save them and help them, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. Amen.
