Mach 17th is the memorial day for us Japanese people. After long persecution, today is the day, some Jesuits found Christians (Catholics) in Nagasaki, hiding their faith. And as you know, 25th is the Annunciation. We have 9days.
Intentions are basically 3, as follows: 1) To ensure enough and appropriate support to all the victims in needs 2) Eternal peace for those who already departed to Thy hands 3) minimize the damage of nuclear power plant and safely calmed down.
Prayer which a priest started to expand is follows.
" Almighty and Eternal Lord, Japan is now endangered by the significant natural disaster. Please turn your eyes of mercy towards us. Give us trust, peace and courage in you. Please protect those who are victimized by the incident, and lead all souls into your Kingdom. Have mercy on us all, so that the expanding fear on nuclear power plant to be minimized. Give the power and graces especially those who are working for stopping its expansion. Give us forgiveness as we are sinful. Yet we are hopeful and trust in to you in penance. Lord, we beg you to grant us the favors we ask in trust. In the name of the same Christ, our Lord. Amen."
