A quick blurb here; I am just wanting to say how proud I am of all the brave individuals who were there at the Boston marathon bombing. I can not even imagine how frightening it must have been to have a happy event turn deadly so quickly. As a family member of Carlos Arredondo, the "Man with the cowboy hat," I have heard how scary everything was and I can only hope for full recoveries for all the injured.

May those that passed rest in peace.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.
