October 28th- Pope's angelus: praying for areas affected by Hurricane Sandy

Pope Benedict XVI asked all  on Sunday to pray  for the victims and all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, which has already killed more than twenty people across the Caribbean last week and has struck the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica with particular force. The Holy Father wanted to assure all those affected by the storm of his spiritual closeness, and promised to remember the victims in prayer. Pope Benedict asked all the faithful to pray for those affected as well, and issued a general call for concrete acts of solidarity.

The hurricane is also threatening large areas of the east coast of the United States with the threat of a devastating storm surge and floods. The storm will also track over us here in Southern Ontario. possibly with periods of high winds and extensive rain.

Please pray for all who will be feeling the impact of this severe storm over the next few days.
