As for Kennedy- in church last Sunday we prayed for him. Unfortunately the first thing that came to mind- after they called for prayers for him, was, "waitress sandwich" and his pro abortion politics- I mean forgive me Lord, I prayed for him, but, I was thinking these things.
I also thought about how we didn't pray for the two firefighters who were killed while trying to out-run the fire on Mt. Wilson (California wildfires). Their vehicle went over a cliff because of poor visibility from the smoke.
The church is in the general area, near the Station fire. It wasn't in any danger of being burned- but when Mass was over there were ashes all over my car, and the smoke is everywhere.
It just didn't seem right to me. To be fair- maybe they hadn't gotten the news about the firemen yet. I don't know.
Sometimes we put the wrong priorities on things. I am sorry for the hardships you are suffering out there.
