Prayer for Turkey & Syria

The Campus Ministry team is praying for the people of Turkey and Syria following the recent devastating earthquake. May all those killed be welcomed into Almighty God's Loving Mercy. May their grieving families be granted patience from their Lord to endure this most difficult time. We ask for Divine Blessing upon the first responders that they may continue their rescue efforts and save lives, for truly, "whoever saves a life, it is as if they saved all humanity" (Quran 5:32). We invite the LMU community to please consider donating to rescue and humanitarian efforts responding to this tragedy. May God protect us and our planet from all such natural disasters.
AMEN

We will be praying for the people of Turkey and Syria at our on-campus Masses, Shabbat Services, Christian praise and worship gatherings (The Well), and Friday-Jummah Prayers. In addition, we will be dedicating the collection from all our Sunday Masses on 2/12/2023 to support Catholic Relief Services' emergency relief efforts responding to this earthquake in Turkey and Syria. We invite all in the LMU community to contribute this coming Sunday. Alternatively, donations can be dropped off in our office in Malone 210 or you can make a donation online here:
