All of a sudden, it hit me: We can help

Hi, I’m Doris. I am asking you to help me with my personal crusade. For months now, I have been trying to figure out how I can be of help to our first responders.

I was praying in the Adoration Chapel last week when a fire engine with sirens blaring went by. All of a sudden it hit me. Such a small thing and so powerful. Every time you hear a siren, say a short prayer for our first responders. Please pray that they get home safely tonight and every night.

Doris Buffo, Citizen of a Troubled Country, Fresno
