NEW ORLEANS TODAY
Amy has opened a blog to the people struggling to recover from Katrina. There you will find the kind of reports the evening news won't give you. If you want to know what NO is like now, go read through the comments.
I came away from reading them with the sense that there is so much more room for God to have a place in a devastated city like NO than in our modern bustling metropolises. Certainly all of the people reporting from NO are poor in spirit and uncertain of their future. How striking that those who are poor in spirit seem to be more open to the values that Christianity holds dear--the values that are the very essence of the Kingdom of Heaven.
How striking too is one report about the need for the Archbishop's presence, and the noted fact that he is nowhere to be seen.
