Prayers for Cyclone Gita in Aotearoa / New Zealand and the Pacific Islands

The Rev. Maren Tirabassi

23 February 2018

For those on water,
for those who must travel,
for those going in labor with a child
passing from this world,
caring for the ill or the fearful,
for those with memories of winds past,
for those who must go to jobs,
for those who respond to emergencies
because it is their profession,
and for those who simply
watch out for neighbors –

We pray safety,
wisdom in venturing forth,
evacuation packs ready,
peace in crisis, peace in home
