Reading </span>Mark 4:
35-41<br>
<br>
On that day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them: "Let
us go across to the other side.".... They took him with them in the boat, just as
he was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat
into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and
they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are
perishing?" He woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be
still!" Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. Jesus said to them,
"Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great
awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea
obey him?"<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>

Savior in times of storm,<br>
when the waters of the deep are broken up<br>
and all the landmarks crumble before our eyes,<br>
come to our aid
and hold us up.<br>
Support the people
of Haiti at this time<br>
lest they sink in
hopelessness and despair.<br>
Empower those who
are responding to their need;<br>uphold the bereaved in their grief;<br>
and let your light
shine in the present darkness<br>
to lead us all to
the city securely built on your love;<br>
In Jesus' name we
pray. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Amen.</span><br></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">
