Prayer

For the living:
May those who have lost loved ones, their neighborhood, and all of their possessions be comforted. May they be given everything they need to rebuild their homes and care for their families. May they gain the clarity to continue and succeed, loving the departed dearly, but letting them go.

...

For the departed:
Glorified and sanctified be the Creator's name throughout the world,
which he/she will renew, raising the dead and raising them to life eternal.

May those who lost their lives during Hurrican Katrina be at peace.
May those who perished during and after the storm
find refuge in the arms of their ancestors,
and love in the presence of the Creator.

...

For NOLA:
May gov't neglect never happen again.
