			OUR LADY OF THE ROSES SHOWS APPROVAL WITH OFFERING OF SUNDAY HOLY HOUR FOR HARVEY VICTIMS
			In this beautiful mystical visage of Our Lady of the Roses taken by Michael Mangan (SMWA President) at the conclusion of yesterday's Sunday Holy Hour, it seems from Our Lady’s expression, perhaps cracking a little smile, that She was very pleased with this kind act of charity and sacrifice by Her children in the rain.           In response to President Trump’s proclamation on Friday that Sunday, September 3 would be a National Day of Prayer for the Victims of Hurricane Harvey and for our National Response and Recovery Efforts, we offered yesterday's rainy Sunday Holy Hour for that specific intention.                 Indeed, we send our love and prayers for a speedy recovery and that God’s peace and consolation be with all of our suffering brothers and sisters in Southeast Texas in this very difficult time.         We also included in our prayers and sacrifice the victims of the devastating monsoons in Asia that have ravaged parts of Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, where some 43 million people have been affected. Millions have been displaced and two-thirds of Bangladesh is under water.
