Digest Number 558

[Guest guest]

Dear All

I am Frederic Eger from Paris. What kind of prayer could we perform

for the 23.000 souls that already died and the million homelesses in

India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Philippine, Malaysia... in the earthquake

8.3 richter scale and the tsunami that devasted the Southern

Asian-Pacific.

Thanks for your enlightments.

Frederic Eger
