Reports of miracles of protection from Hurricane Katrina's destruction

Spirit Daily

IN AFTERMATH OF KATRINA ARE REPORTS OF HOLY WATER AND MIRACULOUS PROTECTION

How to cope with disasters? We take note of them, help those in trouble, and of course protect ourselves. That's only prudent. But we also elevate our eyes. This is extremely important: our eyes always have to be on God.

It said that yesterday in the readings at Mass:

"Brothers and sisters: If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ in your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

"Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way. But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths [Colossians 3:1-11]"

In other words, when we keep ourselves pure, we have nothing to fear.

Did you ever notice how readings from the Bible often have pertinence to current events?

It seemed like that a number of times in the wake of Katrina.

"Seek what is above," do not overly dwell on "what is on earth" -- because you are not going to be here forever.

Hide in Christ and nothing horrid will find you.
