Gracious and Almighty Father, In this time of loss and sorrow following the floods, Please be with our families and loved ones As we attempt to pick up the pieces of our damaged homes and tumultuous lives. Give us strength and courage to face each day with hope and renewal. Grant calm and patience to our mothers and fathers even when stresses are great. Grant obedience and flexibility to our children even when they don’t fully understand what’s going on around them. Grant generosity and compassion to our neighborhoods so that we might support each other and offer helping hands and gentle words when the strength of others falters. Help us to grow closer to each other and to You And let this be an opportunity for our faith to find new roots in your unceasing mercy. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for all that you have done for us and continue to do, You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
We also turn to you, our Blessed Mother, protector of families, that you may see our need as you saw the need of the newly married couple in Cana (John 2). We ask that you petition Jesus on our behalf to supply what necessities enable our households to return to normal again. Ame
