At exactly 14:44, an announcement was made in preparation for the moment of silence for the victims of the Earthquake which happened on March 11th, 2011.
At 14:46 everyone stopped… And for just a moment and there was a dead silence allover.
A moment so calm,even the winds ceded to blow in honor of the moment…
I felt the earth so still.
I bow my head and prayed;
Most merciful and compassionate God,
Giver of Life and Love,
hear our prayers
and let our cries come unto you.
Its been exactly two years since the Earthquake happened…
Lives were lost, homes in pieces, and many missing
Japan, a country not prepared like another country
Not prepared for the Shakes, rumbles, and tremors
It was a devastating and heartbreaking toll
For a moment, we all thought, “Is it all over.”
But here we stand henceforth,
Facing life as if nothing happened…
Open our hearts to feel your compassion
Rouse in us the spirit and continued act of giving
Strengthen our bond to the sisters and brothers in need
touch and comfort the injured, the bereaved and the lost
Give strength and power to the aid workers and medical personnel
Open pathways to partnerships and peace
Give us the strength and wisdom to support Japan, and
Let us live amongst ourselves in loving-kindness.
I pray believing in Your Name; Lord,
AMEN
Ooh thirsty3!!!
