The Tampa Bay area was blessed to be spared the full force of Hurricane Irma, but other areas have been severely impacted by natural disasters.

Your donations and prayers are greatly needed to provide humanitarian and pastoral support to our brothers and sisters who were directly in the path of Irma and other natural disasters that have devastated communities. The money being collected by the Diocese of St. Petersburg is for a disaster relief fund – all of which will be used to provide aid for recent natural disasters as well as those that will occur in the future, as determined by Bishop Parkes.

PRAYER FOR VICTIMS OF DISASTER

Loving God, we pray for those who have been affected by recent disasters especially the floods and winds that have ravaged parts of Florida, Texas and the Caribbean.  We also pray for all those around the world who suffer from floods, droughts and disasters. Break open our hearts to allow the pain and suffering of our brothers and sisters to move us to bold, prophetic action so that all victims will know of your great love, mercy and compassion.

Amen.

ORACIÓN POR LAS VÍCTIMAS DE DESASTRES

Amadísimo Dios, oramos por aquellos que han sido afectados por los desastres recientes, especialmente por las inundaciones y los vientos que han devastado partes de Florida, Texas y el Caribe.  También oramos por personas alrededor del mundo que sufren por inundaciones, sequía y desastres.

Abre nuestros corazones para permitir que el dolor y el sufrimiento de nuestros hermanos nos mueva a tomar acción valiente y profética y así conozcan todas las víctimas de tu gran amor, misericordia y compasión.
