Awesome inspired article about the tragic oil spill :
The worst oil spill in US history owes a lot to the fading away of moral virtue.
Without doubt, the surge in pride, greed and lust tended to smother the four cardinal virtues – prudence, fortitude, temperance and justice.[.]
Intuitively, deep water drilling contradicts the cardinal virtue of prudence. The imprudence of the operation is more obvious now that stopping the deepwater gusher in timely fashion has proven to be beyond human power. It seems that America’s vaunted technological prowess gave rise to pridefulness, and the capital sin of pride mixes with prudence about as well as oil with Florida’s white sand beaches.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

Father, hear our prayers for the Salvation of the world.
Grant Mercy to all souls that turned away from You.
Open their hearts and minds with Your Light.
Gather Your children from the east and the west, from the north and the south.
Have mercy O God on those who do not know You.
Bring them out of darkness into Your Light.
You are our saving God who leads us in our Salvation.
Protect us from evil.
We bless and praise You O Lord; hear our prayers and answer us.
You, our Savior, are the Hope of all the ends of the Earth and the distant seas.
May Your way be known upon Earth; among all nations Your salvation.
We put the world in Your Hands; fill us with Your Love.
Grant us Peace through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
