Today, our hearts are with the people of Venezuela. Powerful earthquakes have devastated entire communities, leaving families mourning loved ones, rescue workers searching through collapsed buildings, and thousands facing unimaginable loss. As Catholics, we may be separated by thousands of miles, but we are united in Christ. When one member of the Body suffers, we all suffer. Please join us in praying for those who have died, the injured, families waiting for news of loved ones, and all first responders bringing hope amid tragedy.
Heavenly Father, Look with mercy upon the people of Venezuela. Comfort those who mourn. Strengthen those searching for survivors. Protect every rescue worker. Heal the injured. Receive the souls of those who have died into Your eternal embrace. Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, fill every heart with hope, courage, and peace. Amen.
