Hurricane Helene Relief

Sep 30, 2024 | #DisasterRelief

Join us in prayer for those affected by Hurricane Helene:

God, you are in the midst of those who suffer
May all affected by natural disasters feel your healing presence.

God, you are in the still small voice,
The gentle whisper that follows
May our ears always hear
May our hearts always cry out for one another
May our hands always reach out to one another
And may we always walk like you walk
In solidarity with those who suffer
And so reflect your presence and comfort.

Amen.

-Prayer adapted from Catholic Relief Services by Episcopal Relief and Development

Almighty God, who is our strength and our refuge; be with those who are besieged by fire, guide those who evacuate so that they may find care and comfort in a safe place; protect their homes and their pets, their neighbors and their friends, so that they may return home to a loving community. We ask this in the name of Jesus your son, who abides with you and with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
