Prayer Request for our Japanese brothers and sisters

In this time of great suffering for the people of Japan, let us offer our prayers for this island nation, that the Lord will bring them comfort, healing and strength.

O God, who set the earth on its firm foundation,

spare those who are fearful

and show favor to those who implore you,

so that, with all dangers of earthquake entirely gone,

we may continue to experience your mercy

and serve you in thankfulness,

safe under your protection.

Through our Lord.

Our Lady of Akita, pray for Japan and all in the Pacific rim who are in harm's way.
