E to mātou Matua i te rangi,

kia whakatapua tōu ingoa,

kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga,

kia whakaritea tōu hiahia i te whenua

kia pērā anō i tō te rangi.

Homai ki a mātou aianei he taro mā mātou mō tēnei rā.

Whakakāhoretia ō mātou hara, me mātou

e whakakore nei i ngā hara o te hunga

e hara ana ki a mātou.

Kaua mātou e tukua kia whakawaia,

Engari whakaorangia mātou i te kino

From Prayers in Common Use, Ko Ngā Karakia o Ia Rā

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you.  As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you.  Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence!  You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Loving God, we stand in awe at the power of creation seen in

volcano and tsunami, recognising the smallness and weakness of

our own existence. Yet you tell us that each person is special and

important to you, and in that confidence we hold before

you the people of Tonga as they deal with the

aftermath of the volcanic eruption.

We give thanks for the moves within the Pacific and the

wider international community to provide support for Tonga.

And although now everything is dismal and grey from volcanic ash,

may the people of Tonga be able to hold on to the hope

of the return of colour and joy to their land
