Help for the People of Bangladesh
By Sister Julie | November 20, 2007
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has established a relief fund for the thousands of Bangladeshis who are displaced and have lost their homes, crops and livelihoods after the cyclone. If you can help, please, please do. Click on this link to donate now …

And please keep the people of Bangladesh in your prayers. I am especially reminded of Mary who is known (among other titles) as “Our Lady of Sorrows”. Mary certainly knew sorrow in her life especially witnessing the passion and death of her son Jesus. I ask Our Lady of Sorrows to watch over all those who are suffering with a mother’s tender love and care. (icon by Father William McNichols, SJ)

I’ve been amazed by how little attention this tragedy in Bangladesh has received from the U.S. news media. With more than 3,000 dead and hundreds of thousands displaced it should be receiving much more high profile treatment.
