Prayer for Haiti
Mother of Perpetual Help, you have been blessed and favored by God. We come to you today as your loving children. Watch of the HAITIAN PEOPLE who invoke you as their patroness and take care of them in their need in the aftermath of the earthquakes. As you held the child Jesus in your loving arms, so take them in your arms. In time of trial, may your children never fail to call out to you. Intercede for your beloved HAITIAN PEOPLE, Dear Mother. May they, and we, obtain pardon for our sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace always to call upon you, Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen.
