Some Thoughts About Japan

I can't watch the videos any more. Or look at devastating photographs.  I don't turn on the radio to hear about possible nuclear meltdowns (whatever that means, no one's bothered to break it down for non-physicist me).  I'm not hiding under a rock, I know what is going on. Rather, I'm not seeking out footage, airwaves, etc.

Psychologically, it's mind-boggling. Emotionally, it's heart-wrenching.  Spiritually speaking: I'm not asking what God has done, but what He has permitted.  I'm asking what I can do spiritually to help out.

Pray, united with the intercession of the Angels, Saints, and Our Lady of Akita.

Consider the lost Souls:

• no Last Rites were available
• no Consolation
• their Guardian Angels
• the demons tormenting and spiritually attacking them
• the moments of doubt of a benevolent God

Consider the resulting damage:

• Nearly inconsolable grief
• Doubts of God's Mercy
• Turning away from God
• Anger at it all
• statement's like the psalmists'  Where is their God now?
• Spiritual attacks of doubt and despair
