Pray for Viet Nam for Those Affected by the Recent Storms
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts heavy yet trusting, lifting up to You our brothers and sisters in Vietnam who are suffering from the aftermath of the recent storms. Lives have been lost, homes destroyed, and communities shaken. Pain, fear, and uncertainty weigh upon them, and we feel their grief deeply in our hearts. Lord, grant them strength in their bodies and courage in their spirits. Comfort those who mourn, heal those who are injured, and provide relief to all who face hardship and loss. Help them to find hope in the midst of despair, and to see Your presence even in the trials that surround them. We pray for the communities that remain, that they may be guided with wisdom and resilience, and that those who have been displaced may be safely restored to homes and lives of peace. Inspire all who can help to act with generosity, compassion, and swift assistance. Father, let this suffering not be in vain. May it deepen faith, foster solidarity, and awaken a greater sense of care for one another. May Your mercy shine upon every heart, bringing comfort, strength, and renewed hope. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.Thanksgiving Prayer (Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary)
We thank You, Lord, for today for the beautiful and grace-filled celebration of our patronal feast in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary. Though there were still many imperfections, we truly felt the love of God and of Our Blessed Mother shining through everyone and everything. We thank You for Your guidance throughout these past years, for walking with us, strengthening our faith, and uniting our community in love. May we continue to walk with joy and trust, following the example of Mary, our Mother, who always leads us closer to You. Amen.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY
O gentle Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary,
on this day when we honor You, the patroness of our community. We lift up our hearts in thanksgiving and love. Through Your intercession with Your Son, Jesus, we pray for peace in our world, for strength and protection for the Church amidst trials, and for every family to remain faithful in daily prayer, united in love and steadfast in following Christ. O Mother of the Rosary, please accompany and protect our Yamaguchi Catholic Community, so that in every circumstance, we may live with trust, hope, and love, becoming true witnesses of the Gospel in our daily lives. Amen.
Pray for Viet Nam
The storms have passed, but everywhere the floodwaters have returned. Right here in our own homeland—the villages of our people, the rugged and resilient land of Central Vietnam—now bend under the weight of murky waters. The hardworking people of our countryside face even greater hardships because of this disaster.
Lord, we ask You to look upon us with mercy, to soothe the suffering of our villagers. Grant peace to the elderly and the weak, protection to the children, and strength to fathers and mothers as they rebuild their homes after such heavy losses.
We pray, Lord, for the rain to stop and the waters to recede, so that our homeland may soon be restored. Light up our hearts with faith, so that even in hardship we may trust and rely on Your boundless love. Amen.
