I’ve been working for FEMA registering applicants for relief and have to tell you these people are gobsmacked. Nobody expected inland flooding, or hurricane damage in Brooklyn. Rain was driven in through closed windows. Mandatory evacuation saved lives but the long-term deadly aftermath may be mold, strains like stachybotrys that can cause permanent nerve damage. And the workers like myself are a bit broken by people like the newly-divorced mom calling up crying that their State Farm hurricane insurance refuses to cover “flooding” from a hurricane and their walls are turning black; or those calling worried they have no winter clothing as it was soaked; or their house is imploding from four feet of water undermining the structure; or their car was drowned. And more hurricanes are on the way.

Lord, we thank You for these trials that define our true welfare as stemming from You alone. Bring us forever into Your Sacred Heart. Make us heroic in our faith, hope and charity for You and love for neighbors for the love of You. Hear the cries of the poor and those who join Christ in having no home to call their own. Grant shelter and sustenance, transportation and communication in You. Thanks. AMEN
 
I will be praying for all the victims of the hurricane and for you and all the workers who are trying to help get them relief…

God bless you!
 
My God bless you for your compassion.
Loving God please defend those affected by the flood and damage, especially those who have no recourse.
Please give them the aid of generous fellow members of the community.

I will pray for the victims Hurricane Irene and that they will not see any more suffering…

*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.
 
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!

Jesus, I trust in You!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, be our salvation.

Amen.

Loving God thank You for the grace of compassion and practical action that many people, like nordskoven and Samson’s wife undertake to assist those whose lives are affected by the natural disasters. Please continue to give them strength, and protect them from excessive fatigue and discouragement at the suffering of so many.
Please aid them and all affected by the disaster, with hope and effective assistance.
