It includes prayers such as "Calm the Shaking of the Earth," "Solidarity of the Human Family," "A Prayer of a Rescue Worker," and "God, What's Going On?"
The book was produced by Pauline Books and Media, the publishing house of the Daughters of St. Paul.

Thanks for providing the link to this little prayerbook. Just to clarify, editor Sr Kathryn Hermes, FSP is a Daughter of St. Paul, not a Franciscan Sister of Peace (although she is a very peaceful person!). The "FSP" stands for Filiae Sancti Pauli ("Daughters of St Paul" in Latin).
Thanks, Sr. Anne, for correcting misinformation in this Zenit article. I love the evangelical ministry of the Daughters of St. Paul. Many times I've had the pleasure of browsing and buying books at the Pauline Books and Media bookstore in New York.
Blessings!
