PRAYERS FOR THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN

Dear Lord,

Please take the people of Japan and hold them close to your Sacred Heart.  Give them strength, help and faith.  Have them realized the fullness of life in you.  Amen.

I also felt moved to share the following passage for all of those who are suffering emotional stress over this situation and others.  A Reading from the Word of God:


Philippians
Chapter 4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near.  Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.


Prayer for Mary's Intercession
We call upon the love or Our Blesses Mother to intercede with Her son for us as we pray:


English translation

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 

Italian translation

Ave Maria,
Piena di grazia,
Il Signore è con te.
Tu sei benedetta fra le donne,
e benedetto è il frutto
del tuo seno, Gesú.
Santa Maria,
Madre di Dio,
prega per noi peccatori, adesso,
e nell'ora della morte.
Amen.
 

Spanish translation

Dios te salve, María,
Llena eres de gracia,
El Señor es contigo.
Bendita tú eres entre las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto
de tu vientre, Jesús.
Santa María,
Madre de Dios,
ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora,
y en la hora de la muerte.
Amén.
 

Japanese translation

ヘイルメアリーは、
の恵みをフル
あなたと共にいます
女性の間でなた祝福
祝福の果実です
あなたの子イエス
マリア、
神の
私たちのために祈って、今罪人
と死時間
アーメン
 
Please consider being generous and helping the people of Japan through a contribution of your prayers and also of your treasure.
 
Catholic Relief Service personnel throughout the Pacific are standing ready to assist those affected by the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan early Friday morning.
 
 
Blessings and Love
