Prayer for Victims of the Mudslides and Earthquake , by: Education for Justice

God of all Creation,

Again we hear the wailing of mothers who have lost their children;
Again we hear the screams of injured people,
And the silence of those being pulled from the rubble, from the mud.
Again we catch a glimpse of the poverty
So many in this world live in;
Again we see families without food and water,
In a world with so many resources.

God, embrace those who suffer,
Give them solace and
Support them in their grief.
Keep our eyes and our hearts open.
