this Friday is a national day of prayer and fasting...

... in reparation of the desecration of the Eucharist by a Minnesota professor.
Father John Trigilio, Jr. [Black Biretta Blog], the president of the confraternity, a U.S. association of 600 priests and deacons, sent a statement this week asking Catholics "to join in a day of prayer and fasting that such offenses never happen again."

Paul Myers, a professor of biology at the University of Minnesota at Morris, says he desecrated the Eucharist by piercing it with a rusty nail, then he threw it into the trash. The self-professed atheist wrote about the incident on his blog..."
Tip to Diane [Te Deum Blog]

Everyone who reads this should, at the very minimum, pray for Mr. Myers.
