Prayers as soon as asked for these men of God.

So many priests in terrible circumstances have been rescued, apparently by divine intervention.

Father Peter Pernin survives the great Peshtigo Fire in 1871, and the Tabernacle with its contents is miraculously preserved amidst total destruction.

Thanks for the links to the miracles. Wonderful stories.


Here's another mention of the missing priests from the Dallas Morning News.

EXCERPT:
The archdiocese has had to cope with mounting losses. One of its priests, Thomas Kinney, died Saturday night after a bout with cancer. Archbishop Hughes said a traumatic evacuation from a nursing home expedited the priest's death.

The archdiocese does not have any information about almost half of its priests, some of who stayed in areas affected by the hurricane.

As Archbishop Hughes visited shelters during the week, he heard "harrowing" tales of escape from the hurricane, he said.

"I am convinced that God is going to purify us through this," he said after the Mass.
