Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, of Cape Town, said that he was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the natural disaster that struck Japan on Friday, in a letter to his counterpart Archbishop Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu.
“I have been stunned by the pictures which are reaching us with the images of human tragedy, displacement and the physical damage to so many structures in many communities,” Makgoba said.
A prayer for the nuclear reactors–[blockquote]Father,
You are Creator of heaven and earth, Sovereign over time and matter. Your prophet Elisha multiplied the widow’s oil and made the iron axhead float. Your Son Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish and walked upon the water. We humbly beseech You to exercise Your sovereignty over the subatomic particles in the nuclear power plants in Japan and abort any meltdown. You reign over the infinitely small! You reign over matter! You reign over space! You reign! You reign! You reign! Amen.[/blockquote]
