In the face of disaster, we turn to God with sorrow and hope. We pray for those who lost their lives, for those who are missing, for their families, friends, and for all impacted by these tragic earthquakes. We pray, too, for the rescue workers and for those offering help and healing. May they have the strength to continue their efforts.

Ante la catástrofe, nos dirigimos a Dios con dolor y esperanza. Rezamos por quienes han perdido la vida, por los desaparecidos, por sus familias y amigos, y por todos los afectados por estos trágicos terremotos. Rezamos también por los equipos de rescate y por quienes ofrecen ayuda y consuelo. Que tengan la fuerza necesaria para continuar con su labor.
