Prayers up...

If you haven't been paying close attention to the news lately, you've still doubtlessly heard about the various "occupy..." protests around the world. The one in Rome went south... fast. At least one church was badly damaged and defaced by some of the protestors.

Statue of Mary taken from a church and destroyed by Roman protestors.

All in all, in this time of economic crisis and unrest, perhaps we should all make a special effort to visit the church at some point during this week and pray before the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle for the ills of our world.
