Just mute the flat-screen.

Let the CNN ticker blast the numbers coming in from across the last free nation standing.  Silent.

Then turn up the speakers on your computer and play this piece of utter and tranquil beauty.

Tomorrow morning – no matter the outcome – will not be one of sorrow.  The Sorrow of all Sorrows was suffered for us all at the foot of Calvary.

Mother of Mercy.
Our life.  Our sweetness.  Our hope.

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of your Son.
