A Prayer for Colombia
Lord Jesus, draw near to the people of Colombia in this time of fear and sorrow. Hold close all who are suffering, strengthen all who are bringing help, and let your peace be felt in the heart of every person in need of comfort. Our Lady of Chiquinquirá, patroness of Colombia, wrap your mantle around your people. Pray for the grieving, the injured and the weary, and welcome all who have died into your Son’s loving home. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
