And through it all, Light.

As most people in the U.S. have likely heard, a huge tornado (EF-5) hit Greensburg, Kansas more or less completely leveling the city and killing nine people. Some say there are still people trapped under debris in the city, it's horrid. In light of all the struggle and tragedy though, there was this on the cover of CNN.com this morning...



That's right, the only thing left on the wall at a destroyed church in Greensburg was a picture of Jesus. It says something doesn't it? I hope no one takes such a "coincidence" lightly. Because it is more than that, it is a sign. God is there through it all, Christ is there. We must reach out to him in times of need and sometimes, a picture is left on a wall to remind us of just that. Houses can be rebuilt, cities restored, but only God can completely heal our hearts and souls after loss and strife is lived.

Jenny's and my hearts go out to the people of Greensburg, Kansas and everyone everywhere who falls victim to hardship. The whole world is in our prayers. Divine Mercy is the answer, it is the salve that shall heal us all and mend the world. Amen.
