Heavenly Father, we come before You in this time of great need. We ask You to protect all those affected by wildfires. Calm the winds, quench the flames, and send the rains needed to restore safety and life to the land.

We place our trust in You, Lord, and seek the intercession of St. Florian, patron saint of firefighters, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
