MERCY, LORD Have Mercy O Lord on the Philippines and our People Gracious and Loving God, you are our Comfort and Strength in these times of sudden devastation and disaster. Surround us now with your Grace and Peace By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen, sustain those who have survived and those work to rescue and rebuild, bring healing and hope in the midst of this suffering, sorrow and pain; through Jesus Christ, our Rock and Redeemer Who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns Forever and ever. Amen. Photo/NINO JESUS ORBETA
