POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE HITS NEPAL

More than 2,000 people have died in a powerful earthquake in Nepal, with many more feared trapped under rubble. CAFOD partners are on the ground helping to rescue those affected.

Prayer for help

Almighty God, in our distress and grief

help us to remember that you love us.

We do not understand why this great disaster

has happened but help us to trust you.

Loving Lord,

for those who have died, give them eternal rest

for those who are bereaved, comfort and console them

for those who are hurt, heal and strengthen them.

                                                       

Lord God, enable us to help our suffering brothers

and sisters in whatever way we can.

Heavenly Father be with us now and always.   

Amen.

Diana Sutherland, CAFOD supporter
