We had a prayer night at St. Catherine's tonight for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. I go to New Orleans often enough that I recognize some of the scenes -- the Superdome, Canal Street, Lake Ponchartrain, the Convention Center...

It just felt good to pray. Tonight we prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. It's a powerful prayer that focuses on the mercy of God and the Passion of Christ, the ultimate sacrifice. Anyway, we had about 10 or 12 teens, not a huge crowd, but like I said, after the news reports, finger pointing between government agencies and politicians, and just a gloomy outlook all around, it is good to be reminded of God's presence and the hope the Lord brings. Whew...
