Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Help them

I have been thinking and praying about the horror of the earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean, as we all have.

I haven't been ready to set any reflections down, but I probably will soon.

The first thing, however, is to pray for the victims, in their thousands upon thousands, and to do what we can to help.

Catholic Relief Services has a good track record as a conduit for aid to people afflicted by crises in distant parts of the world. Unfortunately, like several other charities, their website has crashed under the outpouring of interest in their efforts in connection with the present horror.
