It seems that hurricane Ike is really revved up.
It will slam the area around Galveston, already wind-swept, and much of the rest of the coast, since it is so huge.
These folks need your prayers.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, ora pro nobis !!!
We are in Dallas and they are saying that when the storm gets here after lunch tomorrow that it might still be a category 1 hurricane.
Please remember all those who decided to stay in Galveston; it is likely they will not make it. I sure wish they had left.
Thanks for posting. We all are getting hit bad, texas and Louisiana. Here in Lake Charles, the wind is howling, knocking ovr trees and such, but I feel bad for those getting the eye. Flooding is starting to get bad too. Pray for us Fr. Z, especially Cameron. They are still rebulding. Fr. Joseph McGrath is still rebuilding his Cathedral like church. It is nearing completion with Ike flooding Cameron out. Fr Nathan Long was forced to cancel his very first Solemn High Mass. Mary, Meditrix of all Grace, ora pro nobis.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Mary (marycath.org) was the first Catholic Cathedral in Texas,and survived the 1900 Galveston Hurricane,but as of a few years ago it was in disrepair…it will be interesting to see how well it weathers this storm,and whether the Archdiocese,having just opened the new Co-Cathedral in Houston,will restore it.
Here in College Station, TX, we are about 40 minutes away from slamming up against the wall. I keep checking the radar online, and that big wall of rain and wind is creeping closer. 12:00 midnight is when it starts for us.
It’s eerie when I looked outside before sundown and saw that ominous wall of clouds in the sky. I don’t know what’s in store this evening. It should be all downhill by tomorrow night, but that seems so far away.
Here’s the last view by daylight I saw of the approaching Ike…
