Ricardo Saludo
God, our Father, in faith, we acknowledge your care for us, your children . . . Grant eternal peace to those who lost their lives. Embrace the children who died in their innocence. Console those who are grieving. Help those who are hurt and cure those who are sick. Encourage those who suffer the destruction of their homes and properties as they rise from the ruins and rebuild their future . . . At your command the wind and the seas obey, raise your hand Almighty God and spare us from other natural disasters. Teach us to be responsible stewards of your creation. At this time of crisis, move us to share more and to love more.
