Prayer for those Affected by Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)

Loving Father, you are our shelter and our hope. We come to you with hearts full of trust in your love and mercy.

We pray for the victims of tropical storm Ondoy. May those who have lost homes and properties find shelter, enough food and clean water. Comfort those who are traumatized and those who are grieving for the loss of their families, neighbors and friends. Bless those who are sick and those who are injured that their health may be restored and their wounds cured. May you lead all who are stranded or lost back to those who love them. Guide the hands of the rescuers, the doctors and nurses and other volunteers and give them strength as they serve others with joy.

May this calamity bring people closer together, to help each other and to care for the environment. Give us the faith, the hope and the love to carry on. This we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

    I’m really saddened by this 2 years ago my hometown was devastated by storm Frank and most of the houses fell down and our roof was blown away but I nothing compares to last Saturday’s flood.
    May I post your prayer in my blog “The Filipinamom in Denmark ” cause I believe in the power of prayer urges my reader to do likewise.

    @cristy – during the Mass I celebrated this morning, we also prayed that the country be spared from another calamity. As I encode these words, heavy rains are pouring here in Sta. Mesa, Manila. But I trust that God will not let us down. He loves us and cares for us.

    Father,Now I think that it would be enough for us to be as one..
    I lastly realized that faithfulness simply happens
    When we have something to ask for..but
    No one could ever save us
    except God ..The best thing to do is to PRAY
    Im only 13 yrs old,from novaliches QC ,, GOD BLESS you Father
