A prayer after an earthquake

God the Creator, in moments like this,
when we realize that the ground beneath our feet is not as solid as we imagined, we ask for your mercy.

While the things we built did crumble,
we know too well how small we really are about this
fragile, ever-changing and ever-moving planet that we call home.

Yet you promised never to forget us.
No forget us now.

Today so many people are afraid.
They wait for fear of the next tremor.
They hear the cries of the wounded among the rubble. |
They wander the streets shocked by what they see.
And they fill the dusty air with lamentations of pain and the names of missing dead.

Comfort them, O God, in this disaster.
Be their rock when the earth refuses to stand still
and repair them under your wings when homes and offices no longer exist.

Embrace those who have died so suddenly in your arms.
Console the hearts of those who weep
and relieves the pain of bodies on the brink of death.

Even pierce our hearts with compassion, we who watch from afar,
while our friends and relatives experience misery upon misery.

Push us to act quickly today,
to give generously every day, to always work for justice
ea to pray incessantly for those who have no hope.

And once the shaking stops,
the images of the destruction they stopped archiving the news,
and our thoughts go back to the daily grumbles of life,
let's not forget that we are all your children
and them, our sisters and brothers.
