More and more often we hear about the suffering of animals, plants, people in communities, and the Earth itself during and after weather-related disasters. We continue to document these events in our Praying the News blog posts, in hopes that the collective power of prayer will raise our awareness as global citizens and encourage action to ameliorate pain and save life on our planet.
