We come to the end of November, the month of the Holy Souls, with 76 more souls to pray for: passengers on a plane carrying soccer players, coaches and reporters to a soccer match in Brazil. In seconds the dreams of the team shattered and grief descended like a thunderstorm on the five survivors and the families of the deceased. We cannot imagine or describe what that grief must be like, but we can join with the mourners in prayer for their comfort and the eternal rest of their loved ones. May St. Andrew, crucified on an X cross, intercede for all; may Mary, "Soother of Sorrows", gently drop her mantle of peace over the mourners, and intercede with her Son for the repose of the souls of the deceased.
