We pray today for the persons in the path of Hurricane Laura. We pray for their safety, their health, and their endurance as they prepare for this weather emergency in the midst of COVID-19. We also pray for those in Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean who are recovering from the previous effects of Hurricane Marco and Laura, those recovering from the Iowa derecho, as well as those in path of the wildfires in California, and always for those in the path of injustice.
