A Prayer for Recovery After Disaster

God our Father, in the wake of disaster,
visit our places of desolation with your consolation.
Bring strength to the weary,
and courage to those who feel overwhelmed.
We believe that you hold our concerns in your Fatherly care,
and that yuo entrust us to one another as sisters and brothers.
Mobilize your people near and far to
feed the hungry,
shelter the displaced,
and protect those in deepest poverty.
As we rebuild what is ruined,
may we recover together as a stronger community.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
