I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how this weekend will go. Two natural disasters in one week are two too many, so I am thankful the first one was not very destructive.
Please join me in praying for everyone in the path of Hurricane Irene and for the first responders who are charged with keeping people safe.

We will be praying hard for the well being of the region in Irene's path over the next few days. We are getting pretty nervous here.

Bishops in Louisiana christened June 3 as a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Protection from Hurricanes.
Sharing our prayers with yours:
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Atlantic, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster.
During this hurricane season we turn to you, O Loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us. Amen.
~ written by Maurice Schexnayder, Bishop of Lafayette
And sharing the Patroness of Louisiana and prayer to her with our Eastern neighbors as well:
Prayer to Our Lady of Prompt Succor for Protection from Hurricanes

Praying for everyone in the path of storms, and for the intentions of everyone here, along with your families.
This Chaplet is very powerful:
CHAPLET OF PROTECTION
Jesus attached specific promises of protection to this prayer. This prayer goes even FURTHER than storms, natural disasters, and military strife. It has a GREAT HEALING POWER attached to it, as well, in that it can mend broken marriages, and cure spiritual, physical and emotional troubles. It has "another dimension of protection, even greater than what we can understand at this time."
In the context of protection against storms, natural disasters, and increasing global military tension, Jesus has asked us to URGENTLY spread this special devotion. It is NOT intended to replace the everyday Rosary of our Blessed Mother.
All the below prayers may be said in your native language and by using a typical Rosary.
The chaplet is said by starting with the Crucifix and reciting the Apostles' Creed, then the Our Father, followed by three Hail Mary's on the group of three beads nearest the Crucifix.
First Hail Mary in praise of God the Father; Second Hail Mary in petition or (mention your request); Third Hail Mary in thanksgiving with confidence that your request will be granted.
On ALL the Gloriam (Glory be to the Father...) beads, recite "Holy God, Holy Omnipotent One, save us who dwell in this land."
On EACH decade, on EACH Hail Mary bead (10), recite "Jesus Savior, merciful Savior, spare your people."
On completion of the fifth decade, recite "Son of God, Eternal Son, thank You for the things You have done." Say this a total of three (3) times to complete the Chaplet of Protection.
