Haiti Earthquake Relief
TAIZE PRAYER FOR HAITI
(At the request of a young Haitian, the Taizé Community is asking people worldwide to remember his country in prayer on the 12th day of every month. The day of prayer, beginning Feb. 12, will commemorate the Jan. 12 earthquake that destroyed the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.)
Prayer for Haiti
God our hope, we entrust to you the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Dismayed by the incomprehensible suffering of the innocent,
we ask you to inspire the hearts of those who are trying to provide the aid which is so indispensable.
We know how deep the faith of the Haitian people is.
Help the dying; strengthen the downhearted; console those who are weeping;
send your Spirit of compassion on this people which has been so sorely tried.

Please pray for the people of Haiti.
There was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake 14 miles from Port au Prince today in a town near Petitionville. While Cerca La Source, where St Francis is located is further from the epicenter, we do not know the impact of it all. I know Father Bertrand was going to PAP this week. I will provide an update as we hear from Father Bertrand.

GREAT NEWS Father Bertrand is alive & well!
I received contact from our connection, Tom Brock, in Banica, Dominican Republic that Father Bertrand just came to their church mission seeking supplies!!!!
He had not travelled to Port au Prince at the time of the earthquake. I have not spoken with him yet & hope to find out the status of his sister Manuse who is from Port au Prince. I wanted to be sure to send this good news.
Again, Thank you for all your prayers,concerns as it continues to be a diffiicult time for all the Haitians.
