Our Lady Of Grace - Beverly Hills, FL at 6 Roosevelt Blvd, Beverly Hills, FL 34465 US - A Prayer for Hurricane Season

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 Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant,

can awake from its lethargy,

overstep its usual 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 true spirit of gratitude,

we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son

to reach the heavenly Jerusalem,

where a storm-less eternity awaits us. 

Amen.
