The Tsunamis

[Spotty]

Hey everyone,

I can't help but feel so sad for those people and their families who have been killed in the recent tsunami and quakes. Let's please pray for them all that they may hav the grace of strength and hope to continue!

 

[Cat59]

Praying for those people and countries involved, for strength and also for support from others for them in the aftermath.

 

[QuagDabPeg]

It's so sad. The death toll is over 23,000 now. =(

 

[Michelina]

Poor People! May God be with them in these trying days!

[Victrixa]

I'm totally speechless and feel completely helpless.

God have mercy!

 

[Alexis OCA]

A priest I know has a parish in India, and he lost people to the Tsunami.

The Tsunami Warner Center of the Pacific is located in my state.

What is very sad is that many of the countries did not get the warning in time for the evacuation of the coastal areas. And many of the countries do not have sophisticated equipment or part of the Tsunami warning system.

Please add your prayers in "The Chapel" There is a live Rosary that is ongoing.

It such a tragedy. 12,000 people dead and 18,000 missing in a matter of minutes. Just thinking about it boggles my mind.

If a plane crashes in the U.S. and 200 people die, it's all over the news. If terrorists fly planes into buildings and kill a few thousand people, it shocks the nation. But the death toll of these Tsunami's dwarf the magnitude of the other tragedies.

Lets all try to continue to pray that God has mercy on these many souls.

oh my, they just keep climbing don't they.

 

[InnerPhyre]

Can't even comprehend that much loss. Lord have mercy and may we all heed your warnings, however direct or indirect they may be.

 

[krstlros]

Last I heard on the news, it was 24,000 dead and rising.

 

[Victrixa]

Oh my goodness...


Kyrie Eleison!

 

[bigsierra]

How very sad. I didn't hear about this till tonight at RCIA. When they said 23,000 I couldn't believe they were referring to number of lives lost.

 

[Asimis]

Just checked the news now and it is above 33,000..my father says it will reach 100,000 tho..

 

[Dominus Fidelis]

44,000 now

Send prayers, yes, but also send money. They need help big time.

 

[Rising_Suns]

the death toll is at 60,000 now. wow.

 

[krstlros]

Although they do appreciate the supplies, the Red Cross has asked for monetary contributions as it will be easier for them to get the money there where they can buy the needed supplies such as building supplies and such to re-build the infrastructure.

What is really important to remember is their water supply is severely threatened. The United Nations is expecting the amount of deaths due to water related disease to equal that of those who were killed by the Tsunami if the water situatio isn't resolved quickly.
