praying
I'm very happy to see this thread. I think we will see God's mighty hand move against the hurricane if people pray. I pray in agreement with the above prayers & ask Almightly God to be merciful and to cause the forces of Katrina to fizzle out before more people are hurt.
Just got back from Church...Our pastor, who has never been in a hurricane doesn't understand how devestating these storms can be. He did tell me to trust God, and I do, which is why I am offering up my prayers to help those there.
Prayer for Mercy
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us, and lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for
us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Scripture Reading:
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
hearken to my cry of supplication.
In the day of my trouble I call on thee,
for thou dost answer me.
.
Psalm 86, 5-7
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as it
was in the beginning, is now and shall ever be, world
without end, Amen.
Divine Mercy, gushing forth from the bosom of the
Father,
I trust in Thee!
Divine Mercy, sweet relief for anguished souls,
I trust in Thee!
Divine Mercy, astonishment for Angels, incomprehensible
to saints,
I trust in thee!
Oh Father of mercy,
Hear our voice,
and let our cry come to thee,
Remember this day
the plight of your children
caught in the web of the oppressor,
the evil of war,
the wrongful intentions of another.
Have mercy on them,
and on the whole world!.
O my God!
I believe, I adore, I trust and I love you.
I beg pardon for those who do not believe,
do not adore, do not trust
and do not love you.
Dear friends,

Let us storm heaven with our prayers.
Pressure I just heard from the reconnaisance plane:
902. INcredible storm.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired then with confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
