Maria, pregare per loro

 Excuse my Google Translator version of Italian.  I found this photo in a slideshow here, and was compelled to share it. I cannot imagine the terror and fear that the passengers and crew of the Costa Concordia felt that first night, or what they are going through now.  This photo reminds us we can always seek a mother's comfort. Mary is here to pray for us, even in a tragedy she can be found to put her arms around those who need her. 

Mary, pray for them.
