Prayers from multiple religious traditions for the following:
Prayer for all survivors and their families. That they might experience grace and mercy and deep spiritual strength in this time.
That the relief effort be demilitarized on all levels. The presence of guns and tanks do nothing in this situation but intimidate an already horrid situation for the Haitian people.
That all relief projects and processes be very aware that the Haitian people are capable, strong, courageous and intelligent. That relief efforts focus on capacity building of Haitians to receive what they need and state that they need. And that despite the inequality of economic strength, that true equal partnerships are built.
That the Haitian government find the wisdom it needs to negotiate all the political and economic complexities and that the growth of Haiti be founded on just development practices, including the eradication of debt from International Financial Institutions and a strong regulation on the influx of business so as to mitigate tendencies towards greed without accountability to the Haitian people.
That the future of the Haitian people finally have the infrastructure it needs for sustainable development with the creation of roads, jobs, stable housing, hospitals and schools.
That Haiti become the Haitian beauty it was intended to be.
