Prayers for Those Affected by Flooding

From Very Reverend James A. Misko, Diocesan Administrator: Dear Friends in Christ, as a Diocese of Austin family, let us join in prayer with our brothers and sisters across Central Texas and especially in the Archdiocese of San Antonio for those affected by the devastating flooding. May those lost to the raging waters rest in peace, through the mercy of God, and may their families know God’s presence during this time of sorrow and uncertainty. We also pray for the first responders and volunteers who are helping with recovery efforts. Invoking the watchful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, patroness of people seeking protection during natural disasters and strong storms, we pray God will bring to a calm the rushing rivers and protect those working to recover the lost.
