Italian Earthquake: Prayer for Victims

PRAYERS IN TIME OF EARTHQUAKE:

'Rorate Caeli' has these prayers from the Roman Missal in both Latin and English with an interesting commentary.

Nobody will be surprised that the Holy Father is to visit the afflicted region as soon as possible after Easter Sunday. Whatever words we use let us be with him in spirit and pray with him for the victims, survivors and their families. There are still several people missing who may be suffering torment under the rubble. I'm praying for their rescue alive and that there be an end to the after-shocks which have been hindering the rescue operation.

We are having a memorial service, on Tuesday, at our parish for the victims of the earthquake.

Jane, I sent you an email last night. Did you receive it?

Thanks Fiona,

No email yet. I'll look again after the Holy Father's Mass due to start in 15 minutes.

Love and prayers always,
