Especially now that Japan's in bad situation, and suffering so much.
Let's pray for Japan.
Let's pray for their fast recovery, after experiencing the record breaking (intensity 8.9 or 9.0) earthquake followed by consecutive aftershocks, the fire of refineries and factories, the killer tsunami, the blast in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (still chain reactions occurs) that sending radiation up to alarming levels, a threat to human health .
They're in total damage.
They need our prayers "to restore their difficult situation to peaceful days as soon as possible" (as BYJ said).
They need our prayers to heal their wounds and pains physically, mentally and emotionally.

Pray a Rosary
Pray a Rosary
The rosary is a devotion in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a prayer of hope.
The word rosary comes from Latin word - garland of roses, the rose being one of the flowers used to symbolize the Virgin Mary.
The Rosary has been prayed for since the 17th century.
It has been recommended by Popes from Pius V, 1504, to our present Pope Benedict XVI.
Me, it's been a part of my daily routine to pray a Holy Rosary of Blessed Virgin Mary every morning.
The classic style is longer that others use it as necklace.But I made a shorter, bracelet style that can be wear too after praying.
To those who doesn't know yet how to pray a Rosary, here's the guide...
How to pray a Rosary:1. Make the sign of the cross; say the Introductory Prayers and the Apostle's Creed.
2. Say the Our Father.
3. Say 3 Hail Marys for an increase of Faith, Hope and Charity.
4. Say the Glory Be To The Father.
5. Announce the Mystery for the day to be meditated upon; pause for a while;
announce the intention for which the decade is offered then say the Our Father.
(see the list of Mysteries at the bottom)
6. Say 10 Hail Marys while meditating on the mystery that has just been announced.
7. Say the Glory be to the Father and the Fatima Prayer.
8-18. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each the remaining four mysteries,
while for my bracelet style I just repeat the steps 5 to 7, 5x for the 5 Mysteries.
19. Pray the Hail, Holy Queen,
Recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin,
Say the Closing Prayer.
The Sign of the Cross:
In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Introductory Prayers:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth shall declare Your praise.
O God, come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever, Amen.
The Apostles' Creed:
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He arose again; He ascended into heaven,and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
The Our Father:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
Glory Be to the Father:
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.Amen.
The Fatima Prayer:
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy".
The Hail, Holy Queen:
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
