Your
love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your
righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great
deep; you save both man and beast, O Lord.
How
priceless is your love, O God! Your people take refuge under the shadow
of your wings.
They
feast upon the abundance of your house; you give them drink from the river
of your delights.
For
with you is the well of life, and in your light we see light.
Continue
your loving-kindness to those who know you, and your favour to those who
are true of heart!
Glory
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

A
STATEMENT FROM THE PRIMATE ON THE DISASTER IN HAITI
January
13, 2010 — Haiti has been devastated by a terrible earthquake. Thousands
are feared to have died and many more injured. The people in Haiti have
suffered so much in the past 10 years. Hurricane Jeanne ripped through
the island in 2004 and in 2008 tropical storms took a huge toll. Now a
new disaster. Through the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund,
our church has made an initial donation of $15,000 for emergency relief
through Action by Churches Together (ACT).
The
Anglican Church of Canada and especially the Diocese of Montreal has had
a long relationship with the Anglican Church of Haiti, personalized in
many respects by Canon Ogé Beauvoir, the dean of the theological
seminary in Haiti. A graduate of Montreal Diocesan College, he went to
Haiti in 1991 as a Volunteer in Mission. In 1996, he returned to Canada
to serve as regional mission coordinator for Africa and the Middle East.
He returned to Haiti, where he was born, in 2004. We are grateful to know
that he and his wife Serette are safe.
Please
pray for the people of Haiti as they struggle with such devastation and
grief. Please remember as well their relative in Canada and the Canadian
Haitian community many of whom anxiously await news of friends, relatives
and loved ones. Please give generously to increase our support for relief
efforts.
I
make this appeal in the name of Christ in his compassion for all who suffer.
