Take Time To Reflect and Help

"Dear God, give comfort, strength and peace to those most affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, especially any who have lost or are separated from loved ones. May the ache in their hearts be the place where your unfailing love and their brokenness find each other. May this tragedy bring resolve, conviction and a deep spirit of generosity to each of us. Teach us to embrace our sadness lest it turn to despair, and unite us in our common humanity, as we reach out in hope to those who suffer. Amen."
Adapted from a prayer written by the Rev. Peter G. Cheney, Executive Director, National Association of Episcopal Schools
