For people stripped of security. May we nail down our support to shelter people when natural disasters strike. May our perseverance shine like the sun.

For endless prayerfulness. May our grief-stricken hearts center on God’s Kingdom. May our hands forever be folded in faith and our hearts always laid bare.

We pray to the Lord.

For endless prayer for our dead. May souls that struggled on earth now know heaven’s delight. May we pray unceasingly.

We pray to the Lord.
