Global Solidarity

We pray for those who have been affected
by the immense flooding in Pakistan.
From the northern mountains
to the southern wheat fields
the rising water has left devastation in its wake.

Compassionate God, have mercy.

Wipe away the tears of those
who have lost their families,
their homes and their livelihoods.

Loving God, hear our cries.

We pray for those battling
to deliver aid and support,
and for the families and friends

In Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe . . .
We give thanks for mothers everywhere.

When times are hard, in situations of suffering . . .
We give thanks for the sacrifices they make each day for their children.

For their examples of love, caring, and hope . . .
We give thanks for their generosity, their compassion and their hope for the future.

In the Congo, Iraq, Uganda, Palestine, Colombia . . .
