As Hurricane Flossie approaches the Hawaiian islands, I would ask that you join in praying the following:

Jesus Christ, a King of Glory, has come in peace.
God became man, and the Word was made flesh.
Christ was born of a virgin.
Christ suffered.
Christ was crucified.
Christ died.
Christ rose from the dead.
Christ ascended into heaven.
Christ conquers.
Christ reigns.
Christ orders.
May Christ protect us from all storms and lightning. Christ went through their midst in peace and the word was made flesh. Christ is with us with Mary.
Flee, you enemy spirits, because the Lion of the Generation of Judah, the Root of David, has won. Holy God. Holy Powerful God. Holy Immortal God. Have mercy on us. Amen.

This prayer originated in a convent and church in Lisbon, Portugal. Pope Innocent III, 1198-1216, ordered it published. From the Pieta prayerbook
