I know what consolation it would give me to know that my three dogs were found and cared for in a disaster. Consider it consoling the sorrowful and a great spiritual work of mercy. What a beautiful act. The Catholics of Japan are doing an excellent job of ministering to the direct needs of the people: this is an excellent compliment to their work.
