Good Morning, God,
Lord, as the challenges to life, health and daily food mount up for the people of Japan, we ask for your Light to shine in their hearts, your Goodness to deliver them from evil, your Power to be their support, your Wisdom to overcome any ignorance, your Pity to have mercy on them, and that they with their hearts and minds and strength may seek your face and know your love.
And, Lord, for us here with our daily, mostly mundane, concerns, "Make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, let us pardon, where there is doubt, give us faith; where there is despair, give us hope; where there is darkness, give us light; and where there is sadness, give us joy.
O Divine Master, grant that we may not seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive and in pardoning that we are pardoned." May we live by these words today and every day.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
