Another gloom and doom entry.

Can't wait for IRMA.

A counter view, one from a Catholic perspective.

the thesis offered us in this article is simply one of seeing a problem with mere human eyes.

Imagine the effects of 300k fueled by the Sanctifyng grace of Holy Communion who enter the fray of this storm damage to fix homes and hearts with the sweat of happy sacrifice and constant prayer.  To not count to cost but to self empty in order to bring order and calm to the area's souls, not gouging on repair work.  Working long hours building friendships.

And imagine those Catholics directly affected who resist taking the "woe is me" path and instead cheerfully dust themselves off in a more sporting spirit, encouraging by their sincere example their non Christian neighbors.  God's Holy Spirit moving through those people.

God can draw unimaginable good out of this disaster.

Don't let the gloom and doom writers of NCR cast the message unchallenged or unfazed by the message of the Gospel.
