From MSNBC: In 1970 a magnitude-7.9 earthquake struck just off the west coast of Peru. It reduced the coastal towns of Casma and Chimbote to rubble and killed at least 3,000 people. Even greater disaster struck the towns of Yungay and Ranranhirca. The shaking sent an avalanche of mud, rock and ice down the slopes of the Cordillera Blanca and buried the cities under tens of feet of debris. An estimated 70,000 lives were lost. Here, a statue of Christ is all that remains in Yungay.

Here in life, Christ is all the remains. He is all that is true. He is all that is light. He is all that is love.

Prayers to those in Haiti and Chile. God bless you all.
