Our Lady of Perpetual Succour... Pray for Us

As an native of a town called Minersville, of Irish-Catholic descent, and a member of the military, my heart goes out to the victims and families affected by the mine disaster in West Virginia, and to all our servicemen in Iraq and elsewhere abroad. May grace be given to all these, and anyone else who places himself in danger for the benefit of others, for perseverance, protection, and faith throughout all.
