After the devastating earthquake in Haiti on Tuesday, our thoughts and prayers go out to those in need. Relief efforts are trying to save as many people from the 7.0 magnitude earthquake, but 100,000+ are feared dead. This is a truly tragic disaster, so please pray and help in whatever way you can.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is the patron saint of Haiti. In this time of grief, let us call upon her for help and comfort.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of every grace that God grants us in our misery; it is for this cause that He hath made thee so powerful, so rich, so kind, that thou might assist us in our miseries. Come once more to my assistance, for I commend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation; to thee I entrust my soul. Enroll me among thy most faithful servants; take me under thy protection and it is enough for me: yes, for if thou protect me, I shall fear nothing. My dear Lady, obtain for me the forgiveness of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance and the grace to have recourse to thee at all times, O Mother of Perpetual Help.
Donations can be made to Haiti relief efforts through the Salvation Army here.
