Prayer for the Gulf of Mexico

We pray today for the preservation of our natural environment, especially the Gulf of Mexico and the lands and waters it touches: Guide those who labor to contain the oil that endangers the creatures of sea and land; Strengthen those who work to protect them; Have mercy on those whose livelihoods are suffering; Forgive us for our carelessness in using the resources of nature, give us wisdom and reverence so to manage them in the future, that no one may suffer from our abuse of them, and that generations yet to come may continue to praise you for your bounty; through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen

Prayer for Haiti Gracious God, I lift my voice in prayer with all the people of the world. Surround Haiti and her people with your loving embrace that they may be: supported by the world in the work of rescue and recovery; comforted as they grieve; strengthened as they bury their dead; healed as they tend their wounds; restored in faith and the hope of things unseen; and transformed through newness of life in Christ. Make me an instrument of divine love, of mercy, of hope, and of new possibility. Give me eyes to see, ears to hear, the will to act, and a discerning and generous heart that I may serve you and those who suffer in whatever way I am able. In and through the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.
