Read everything...including the comments.

Arrange the comments by popularity. Great points made.

Lord have mercy upon all involved!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I love this one post on the main article on HuffPo...

"We're a judgemental, unsympathetic society. We have no understanding, no empathy for the plight and hardships of others. I can remember a time when people actually understood each other, cared about each other, and helped each other. Not any longer. We're all too busy passing judgement with a cynical and contemptuous attitude. We're not a community any more. Just a bunch of individuals living in the same place."

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

This on top of the fact that economic difficulties tend to pit folks against one another in a darwinian struggle for jobs and money. Hang together people. The forces of division are strengthening.

It's in this context that a genuine expression of Gospel, by the communion-creating power of the Spiritual Presence of Jesus in and through his Body, would make an EXCELLENT contrast.

The Gospel rings true with the Image of God within humanity.

Sigh. I try to place myself in this poor lady's position...and the only thing that would sustain me through enduring such a thing would be the love, joy, and peace of Jesus Himself. Nothing more or less. Otherwise, I'd endanger myself and others.

I don't know if she's a person of faith. Either way...Lord, help her.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
