It is terrible, and, like in California, it appears there is all kinds of criminal action going on behind the scenes, making it worse. And, if that is not bad enough, other parts of Australia were getting flooding problems. It’s as if the earth wanted to heal the fires, but something got in the way. :(
Pray, indeed, for Australia!
Amen. What an awful situation. Is there a patron(ess) of burn victims?
According to http://saints.sqpn.com/patrons-against-burns/ the Apostle John is the patron for burns.
For prevention of fires, http://saints.sqpn.com/patrons-against-fire/ has quite a few:
Agatha
Amabilis
Barbara
Caesarius of Arles
Catherine of Siena
Eustachius
Florian
Francis of Assisi
Francis of Paola
Gratus of Aosta
Jodocus
Lawrence
Much appreciated, Henry.
P.S. As I live in California, I suspect those names may come in handy at some point, unfortunately.
Matt, you are welcome, and I fear it will be bad this summer in California. I hope not. But with what is going on in Australia now, I can only think it will be the trend this year.
