As we keep the people of Haiti in prayer, and pray for the strength and persistence of the relief workers after the earthquake, it is of some comfort to know that Catholic Relief Services has been active there from the beginning. Bishop Burbidge, along with the Bishops of the United States, has requested that a special collection be taken up this weekend to help Catholic Relief Services in their mission in Haiti. You may also donate directly to CRS at their website.
A prayer from the Diocese of Raleigh website:
God of all creation,
as we weep with our family in Haiti, console us.
In this time of crisis, open our eyes to look beyond the disaster to see Christ in our brothers and sisters in Haiti,
as Christ sees us.
Be with us as we stand in solidarity with those living
and working in Haiti.
Be with us in our mourning and guide our efforts to
feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, comfort the grieving and stand for justice.
With your mercy, sustain us at this time as we continue to work for peace and justice. Amen.
