Let pray for the victims of the typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)
30 Sep
I’m terribly saddened by the flooding of almost 80% of Metro Manila and nearby provinces even I experienced more than a dozen of almost 2 meters floods during the 28 years of my life in the Philippines but nothing can compares to the devastation of typhoon Ondoy.
The Filipinos are resilient just like the bamboo tree and you can still see they smile in the midst of their life’s tragedy but at the end of the day they will realize they lose their homes and love on ones it’s really tragic. But we can help them to help them to stand on their feet but donating to authorized agencies but if we can’t help them financially we can help by reciting this prayer from Fr. Stephen Cuyos.
I know most Pinoy bloggers have already posted about the typhoon but I want to make this prayer as a tag to reach out as much as possible. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t catholic just revise the prayer according to your faith.
You just copy the prayer and tag your friends as many as you want and just mention where you got the tag from and then inform your friend that you tag them.
Fr. Stephen Cuyos of Happy Faith started this prayer and I also post it to my Facebook wall. I will tag the following Marlene, Mom for a Cause, Maricris, Amor,Bing Sitoy, Mel, Rolly & Mathie Banaga
Prayer for the victims of the typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)
Loving Father, you are our shelter and our hope. We come to you with hearts full of trust in your love and mercy.
We pray for the victims of tropical storm Ondoy. May those who have lost homes and properties find shelter, enough food and clean water. Comfort those who are traumatized and those who are grieving for the loss of their families, neighbors and friends. Bless those who are sick and those who are injured that their health may be restored and their wounds cured. May you lead all who are stranded or lost back to those who love them. Guide the hands of the rescuers, the doctors and nurses and other volunteers and give them strength as they serve others with joy.
May this calamity bring people closer together, to help each other and to care for the environment. Give us the faith, the hope and the love to carry on. This we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
The aftermath of typhoon ondoy is really devastating. I can't even look at the tv monitor when they flash bodies of victims being unearthed in piles of debris. Thanks for the visit Ana. I will grab the prayer and will post this tomorrow morning. This is helpful Ana.
by the way, i'm inviting you na rin to be a part of my other blog its called Yam's Files http://yamtorrecampo.blogspot.com. Thanks.
@Yami,
Thanks even here they always showing what's happening dyan so I'm really sad and tomorrow daw may parating naku paano na yung mga nasa bubing at sa evacuation center. I'll visit your other blog kaso under maintenance daw pa ang blogger eh. Regards
Thanks Ana for this tag. sad to say, binaha rin kami pero at least we're safe. Kawawa yung ibang mga victims, nakakalungkot yung naranasan nila. I hope and pray that they will soon recover.
@ Amor,
Mabuti naman at safe kayo I can just imagine natira din ako sa malapit sa ilog Pasig eh di mo alam kong asan ang ilog. Regards
Ana, thanks a lot for this tag. Nakakashocked talaga ang nangyari sa atin. My first time to see such high water in Manila and I've seen in the video how how the cars floated like boats. It's so sad to see this kind of a scenario.
@Marlene,
OO nga benn through alot even the earthquake i think 89 but this last saturday was too much to bear. I hope llihis yung super typhoon Pepeng na parating daw bukas north Luzon baka tamaan kami. Kaya lets pray na lang we can’t do anything.
