Please take a minute to take in the significance of this photo taken amid the destruction in
Queens.

Nothing can topple our Holy Mother ^^

This reminds me of a story I heard about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I forget which city it was, but after the bombing, one of the few buildings left intact was a Catholic Church which has priests and parishioners praying the rosary in it.

Beautiful, but sad, picture.
 
I’ve seen numerous pictures of this sort before. In the middle of some disaster, there will be a large cross, or statue of Christ or of Our Lady, perfectly intact, surrounded by rubble.

How good our Lord is - always giving us little signs that He is still with us. Those with hardened hearts will not recognize these signs for what they are; but they bring comfort to those who acknowledge Him. Praise God for His love and mercy.

Praise Him indeed, Louisa! Thank you for your lovely post. 👍
 
This is what is left after the fire that destroyed 80 houses in Queens, NY last night when the super storm Sandy hit. I saw it this morning on the NYT website.
 
Today I opened up my Psalm and stumble on this passage that I think, I should share with you all.

“Take pity on me God, take pity on me, in you my soul takes shelter;
I take shelter in the shadow of Your wings until the destroying storm is over (Ps 57:1)”

Our Holy Mother Mary, pray for us
 
I saw this photo in a news article and thought it was significant. 🙂
