The people of New Orleans and the surrounding areas in Louisiana and Mississippi are in great need of help, not only in material goods, supplies and shelter, but especially money. Catholic Charities has set up a simple web page where you can donate money to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. They are currently accepting all the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
Please pray for all the victims of this natural disaster. Pray that they may seek God and not despair because of the tragic events that have taken place. Please especially pray for two of my friends, who's lives have been directly impacted by this hurricane. If you have anyone you'd like me or others who read this blog to pray for, please post them in the comments of this posting.
