This group's sign says "We offer our prayers for the victims of the
Japan earthquake and tsunami."
The monks offer up prayers for the people of Japan
You know that feeling - when the task at hand seems hopeless.
The aftermath of the Tsunami -
A boat that was washed on top of a house
When we hear of disasters that happen in faraway places. and we see the photos of the people who are in pain and suffering, we often feel helpless, that there is nothing we can do.
Yes, we can send donations of money to the International Rescue teams and this
is a source of aid. I am suggesting to you that prayer does make change.
If you find yourself viewing my blog today, I am asking you to take a moment to view these photos again, slowly, and then offer up a prayer for the people in the photos and the people who are affected by this disaster. If each one of you does this then I can feel that I helped in a small way also.
If you do not believe in prayer then believe that others believe and do it anyway.
Feel free to pass this message along to others.
There is power in collective prayer.

Prayers sent! The photos are so heart-wrenching, so beyond imagination the senses shiver. This a.m. it's snowing there.
I also believe a collective offering works. Thank you for being the kind person you are.
