Prayer of the Day: Gulf of Mexico

We hold in prayer and lament this day the terrible suffering of all life-forms in the Gulf of Mexico. We grieve the profound marring of your creation and the threat to coastal ways of life. Have mercy, O God. Grant wisdom and perseverance to all who struggle to contain this disaster. Let those who lost their lives rest in peace and may you bring comfort to their families. Send out your Holy Spirit to create anew the face of this earth. Amen.
