earthquake

Jun 13, 2011

It’s just after 6pm and the geonet website already lists fifteen quakes today. Two quakes this afternoon were significant, causing major damage.

Thanks be to God there have been no reports of loss of life or of serious injury.

But the day has taken its toll on our emotions and sense of stability. Once again we turn to prayer, especially the Collect from the Mass in time of Earthquake:

God our Father

you set the earth on its foundation

Keep us safe from the danger of earthquakes

and let us always feel the presence of your love

May we be secure in your protection

and serve you with grateful hearts

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen
