The news came rushing over television airwaves and electronic outlets and social media sites like a sudden, welcome downpour at the apex of a drought. THAILAND CAVE RESCUE: All 12 Soccer Players & Coach Out Safely Finally, a headline containing joyous, amazing, wonderfully happy news. Gosh, I cannot honestly recall the last time that happened? Not that it wasn't twinged with tragedy. Although the rescue was a total success, there was a death at the end of last week when a Thai Navy Seal gave his last breath securing oxygen tanks for the trapped boys and their coach. #NoGreaterLove #TrueHero #ThankYouRescuers But, for once in what seems like ages and eons, we humans got the happiest of endings. All of us. And every news and media outlet of every type (conservative, liberal, biased, objective, print, digital, you name it!) was literally on the same page. A jubilant, grateful one. That, in and of itself, is a miracle. And speaking of modern day miracles... People if you don't see the correlation behind an ENTIRE PLANET praying for 13 souls and the ensuing result of those answered prayers --- heaven help you because I can't, Capisce? Worried? Pray for calm. Happy? Pray in thanksgiving. Scared? Pray for strength. See the theme here? Prayer works, you dig? #MiracleInThailand #ThanksBeToGod #PowerOfPrayer Jn 10:14 R. Alleluia, alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. Gospel Mt 9 A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke. The crowds were amazed ... Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

This news about the rescue was absolutely more frosting on the Divine cake of good news/answers to prayers. And for those of us living in the USA, there's much to be happy and grateful for every day, including that we have a pro God & Country President, who is #MAGA. "Praise God.", and "Thank God."
