Today is Thursday 21st January 2010.
The intentions of today's Psalm is for
those victims and survivors
in the recent earthquake in Haiti.
Victims of the earthquake in Haiti are now
well secured in the hand of the Lord. For
we believe in Christ, who said I am the
way, the truth and the life, who ever believe
in me will have everlasting life. In his Kingdom
they will find his light, happiness and peace.
What is important at this time are the living
who are deeply suffering from the lost of their
love one's.
Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he lead me beside still
waters, he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the
darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff...they comfort me. You prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup over flows. Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
Reflections and prayers:
Dearest Shepherd, walk with the earthquake survivors, walk with the families whose son's or daughter's,
husband or wife, relatives and friends perished in the earthquake. In their darkest moment of life, comfort
them with your love. Amen.
Lord God, be with the family of those who survive, whom I now commend to your care. Remind us that you
will always be our Father and the protector. Give those alive in grief strength in spirit. Bear them up in the
days to come, Amen
Antiphon
Direct our thoughts, feelings and actions

My brothers and sisters in Christ, Good Morning!
To prepare ourselves for today's journey, lets call to mind our sins, and ask God forgiveness for he is full of
gentleness and compassion.
Lord have mercy..........Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy..............Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy..........Lord have mercy.
May the good Lord have mercy on us, forgive our sins, and lead us to life everlasting, Amen.
