Prayer For the People of Haiti
The harvest of justice is sown in peace for those
who cultivate peace. James 3:18.
Out of the depths we cry to you, O God.
We cry to you for our Haitian sisters and brothers.
We thank you for upholding them in their suffering.
Give them continuing strength and comfort.
Give us love and courage to stand with them and work with them
as they struggle
for justice and freedom.
Keep us committed to the truth and empower us with your Spirit of love:
-
a love that always sees possibilities for peace found on justice;
-
a love that seeks justice without vengeance and retaliation;
-
a love that reaches out to enemies, as Jesus taught us.
We trust in your continuing mercy as we bring to you our own desire
to be
in active solidarity with our Haitian brothers and sisters.
O Lespri Sen desann sou nou; nou gen yon misyon pou Aytti.
(O Holy Spirit descend on us; we have a mission for Haiti.)
