We mourn the death and destruction in Japan,
O Lord,And we pray for those who died in this recent disaster.
May their souls rest in peace.May their families be comforted.

We pray for the living survivors.
Be with them, Lord, in this traumatic time.
May they experience Your healing,In their spirits as well as their bodies.

We pray for the communities affected.
May they come together in solidarity
To rebuild and to affirm new life,Amid the ancient stones.

Our prayers for speedy recovery to the people of Japan.
