Priest : Again we pray for the safekeeping of this holy church and this city , and of all cities and towns from pestilence , famine , earthquake , flood , fire and the sword , from invasion of enemies , civil war , and unforeseen death ; for His mercy , that He will be kind to entreat as our good God , Who loves all people and that He may turn away and scatter all wrath and disease that moves against us , and deliver us from His impending , justified chastisement , and have mercy on us . It scoured away the wet , soupy soil , depositing it no one is quite sure where . But , certainly , some of the smaller districts , the rural districts , the suburban districts where you have three or four schools , their costs , their per-unit , per-classroom construction costs are probably increasing at a much faster rate than we are . After a couple of weeks under a brutal subtropical sun , the water covering the city ’ s streets had become an opaque , semi-gelatinous brew of sewage , fluids leaked from submerged cars , and bodies of rodents , cats , dogs , and people . Barth ’ s testimony to the reality and sovereignty of God is a vital foundation if we are to hold out for anything more than the fleeting , tragic significance of human liberation .
