Let's add our prayers on behalf of thousands who have lost their loved ones in the earthquake and let's pray for those who still seek...


Crying Tree (Ashlee Nicolle Ferlito)

For All the Lost Generations:

Father, you formed our first father, Adam, out of the clay of the earth. You breathed the breath of life in him, and he became a living being. And now, the same earth has swallowed up, and taken away an entire generation of children. Breathe your restoring life on the mothers of the disappeared:

Lord, hear our cry

Jesus, you slept in death within the earth; a seed fallen, dead, and buried.  Hear the cries of all the generations buried under the rubble of earthquakes and even the debris of our own lives. May we all rise out of the earth with you: never to die again, for you are the Resurrection and the Life:

Lord, hear our cry

Holy Spirit, empower your saints in the land to engage the needs of all the earthquake victims. Make us angels of healing, comfort, and service to the sick, bereaved, hungry, and the homeless.  Make us a firm foundation of grace and mercy in the midst of all of the shakings in our lives and in our world.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: Hear Our Cry.

Amen.
