Kyrie, eleison!

I just watched Nightline. I didn't realize how bad the situation was in New Orleans. No American city in my lifetime has experienced this degree of devastation.

We may, quite literally, have just lost a major American city.

Ted Koppel's words at the conclusion of the program were as true as they were frightening: what Hurricane Katrina has just done to New Orleans, terrorists will some day do, on purpose, to another American city.

Please join me in prayer for this great city and its people.

Please join me in prayer for all of us.
