Hope among the ruins
A statue of Our Lady residing in the nineteenth century Cathedral of the Annunciation in Alexandretta, Turkey of the Apostolic Vicarate of Anatolia, was left intact as the cathedral collapsed around it.
Personal reflection:
Dear God, protect us from all the rabble and rubble all around us, as You protected the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY and BABY JESUS.
God bless all those adversely affected by the death, destruction, and devastation, of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey.
