Prayer of the day

Today, along with Lasallian schools across the East Coast, we concluded our prayers for the people of Haiti as they get ready to mark the 3rd anniversary of the devastating earthquake:

Loving God, today let us remember all of those who have sacrificed to assist our Haitian brothers and sisters in the rebuilding of their lives and their nation. When people doubt God’s presence n the world we need only to look to Haiti and to the loving response of so many “strangers” to those whose lives were destroyed by the actions of a great natural disaster. Bless the relief workers O’ Lord, who have come from every part of the earth, speak many difference languages and are of different faiths. What binds them together is love and compassion for brothers and sisters in need. God, you are perfect Love and we pray in confidence that you will provide the grace and zeal that is needed to those who continue the work of rebuilding and healing in Haiti today.
