Pray for the Hurricane victims


I wanted to ask everyone to please pray for those in Texas and the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as they prepare for Hurricane Rita.

Rita is a category 5 hurricane at the moment and headed for Galveston, TX.

Many of the evacuees from Hurricane Katrina are currently staying in Texas.

Saint Barbara is one of the saints who is traditionally invoked against storms. Lets ask Saint Barbara and Our Lady to be with those who are currently in the path of Hurricane Rita.

Saint Barbara, Pray for us!

Sante Marie, priez pour nous!

Prayers have been headed their way from me. I'll keep it up. I asked the other day, "What are we supposed to learn from this that we haven't already learned?" Lots of love and support are needed that's for sure.

Thanks for reminding us to pray (which we must do unceasingly even in good times). Will pray for an end to Hurricane Rita and for the protection of all those who are in harm's way.

Lifeisgreat: I was thinking the exact same thing driving home from work today. "What are we supposed to learn from this?" Generosity and relying on the Lord are two things that come to my mind right away.

I heard that, MK! Thank God!

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
