				<h2 class="subtitle">My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.</h2><p class="Body"><strong>Prayer for use while sheltering from storms</strong></p>
<p class="Body">I lift up my eyes to the hills.<br />
From where does my help come?<br />
My help comes from the Lord,<br />
who made heaven and earth.</p>
<p class="Body">The Lord is our keeper;<br />
God our Father will keep us from all evil;<br />
he will keep our life in his hands.</p>
<p class="Body">Under thy protection, we take refuge, O Mother of God:<br />
do not despise our petitions in time of trouble,<br />
but rescue us from dangers.</p>
<p class="Body">Heavenly Father, send your angels to take charge of us,<br />
to guard us in all our ways.<br />
On their hands, may they bear us up.</p>
<p class="Body">We cling to you in love, deliver us.<br />
Protect us, for we know your name.<br />
Be with us in this trouble.<br />
Rescue us and honor us.</p>
<p class="Body">Satisfy us with long life and your salvation.</p>
<p class="Body">Have mercy on us Lord. When we stand before your face, show leniency toward our wretchedness.</p>
<p class="Body">Lord have mercy. <em>Lord have mercy.</em><br />
Christ have mercy. <em>Christ have mercy.</em><br />
Lord have mercy. <em>Lord have mercy.</em></p>
<p class="Body">Holy Mary, queen of angels, pray for us.<br />
Angels of God, pray for us.<br />
My guardian angel and the guardian angels of each of us here, pray for us.<br />
St. Joseph, protector of the family, pray for us.</p>
<p class="Body">Amen.</p>
<hr />
<p class="Body">The imagery in the first lines is from Psalm 121. It makes me think of war movies or old Westerns, when the besieged protagonist is crouched behind some scraggly bush, quickly running out of ammo, and suddenly from the hill on the horizon, rank on rank of replacements come galloping in.</p>
<p class="Body">The “Under thy protection” prayer to Our Lady is the <span class="Hyperlink0"><a href="https://aleteia.org/2016/07/08/let-us-pray-the-earliest-known-marian-prayer/">earliest known Marian prayer</a></span>, dating as far back as only 200 years after Christ. Just think of the generations of Christians who have had these words on their lips in times of trouble.</p>
<p class="Body">I also love invoking the angels in times of physical danger. Scripture tells us of how successfully they are able to ward off threats. Just think of what Daniel reported after a night in the lions’ den: “My God sent his angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not hurt me” (6:23). This prayer draws from the promise of the angels in Psalm 91.</p>
<p class="Body">Finally, the line about entrusting our souls to God’s mercy comes from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in his “Last Testament.”</p>
<p><em>Adapted from a <a href="https://aleteia.org/2017/02/15/prayer-for-a-tornado-shelter/">Prayer for a Tornado Shelter</a>.</em></p>

    "articleBody": "Prayer for use while sheltering from storms\r\nI lift up my eyes to the hills.\r\nFrom where does my help come?\r\nMy help comes from the Lord,\r\nwho made heaven and earth.\r\nThe Lord is our keeper;\r\nGod our Father will keep us from all evil;\r\nhe will keep our life in his hands.\r\nUnder thy protection, we take refuge, O Mother of God:\r\ndo not despise our petitions in time of trouble,\r\nbut rescue us from dangers.\r\nHeavenly Father, send your angels to take charge of us,\r\nto guard us in all our ways.\r\nOn their hands, may they bear us up.\r\nWe cling to you in love, deliver us.\r\nProtect us, for we know your name.\r\nBe with us in this trouble.\r\nRescue us and honor us.\r\nSatisfy us with long life and your salvation.\r\nHave mercy on us Lord. When we stand before your face, show leniency toward our wretchedness.\r\nLord have mercy. Lord have mercy.\r\nChrist have mercy. Christ have mercy.\r\nLord have mercy. Lord have mercy.\r\nHoly Mary, queen of angels, pray for us.\r\nAngels of God, pray for us.\r\nMy guardian angel and the guardian angels of each of us here, pray for us.\r\nSt. Joseph, protector of the family, pray for us.\r\nAmen.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe imagery in the first lines is\u00a0from Psalm 121. It makes me think of war movies or old Westerns, when the besieged protagonist is crouched behind some scraggly bush, quickly running out of ammo, and suddenly from the hill on the horizon, rank on rank of replacements come galloping in.\r\nThe \u201cUnder thy protection\u201d prayer to Our Lady is the earliest known Marian prayer, dating as far back as only 200 years after Christ. Just think of the generations of Christians who have had these words on their lips in times of trouble.\r\nI also love invoking the angels in times of physical danger. Scripture tells us of how successfully they are able to ward off threats. Just think of what Daniel reported after a night in the lions\u2019 den: \u201cMy God sent his angel and closed the lions\u2019 mouths so that they have not hurt me\u201d (6:23). This prayer draws from the promise of the angels in Psalm 91.\r\nFinally, the line about entrusting our souls to God\u2019s mercy comes from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in his \u201cLast Testament.\u201d\r\nAdapted from a Prayer for a Tornado Shelter.",
