Prayer for the People of Pakistan , by: Linda Jones/CAFOD

We pray for those who have been affected
by the immense flooding in Pakistan.
From the northern mountains
to the southern wheat fields

who have lost their families,
their homes and their livelihoods.

Loving God, hear our cries.

and for the families and friends
