LEADER 1: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

LEADER 2/ALL: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen

LEADER 1: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ

LEADER 2/ALL: have mercy on us and on the whole world (repeat 10 times)

LEADER 1: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world (repeat 3 times)

LEADER 2/ALL: Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments, we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

God of Mercy, in this time of devastation and loss, we lift our hearts to You. We mourn those whose lives were taken and we ask Your guidance for the recovery of those who are still missing..  Please protect the first responders and all those who are dealing with the aftermath of this natural disaster.  

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen
