Nepal: Solidarity with Communities Affected by Devastating Floods
Our hearts are particularly close to the people of Nepal, following the catastrophic flash floods that struck the Himalayan region on 26 August. The disaster devastated communities along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems, destroying homes and infrastructure and leaving many people dead or missing. Rescue and relief operations continue amid difficult conditions and the danger of further flooding.
We invite all Dominican Sisters, Associates, collaborators and friends to remember the people of Nepal in prayer, especially those who have lost loved ones, those still missing, the injured and displaced, and the rescue and relief workers serving affected communities.
Let us also remember all people affected by natural calamities around the world. May these experiences deepen our commitment to ecological conversion and to building communities that protect life, strengthen resilience and care for our Common Home.
