Polycarp, you seem like you in better with Him than I am. Could you just get him to stop with the spiritual doodles for a minute and smack this SARS virus down? When we’re healthy, we can handle the redecorating ourselves. ---

Well, God, [you’re at it again.](http://www.dailynewstribune.com/news/local_regional/ap_vision06182003.htm) This time, you’ve painted a nice picture of the Virgin Mary on the window of a hospital in Milton, Massachusetts. A lot of people are having a difficult time spotting the image at first. I guess God has entered His abstract-expressionist phase. And some people are really getting a lot out of God’s latest illustration: > [@](#): > > The message I think that she is trying to relay is that we need to pray for peace, for a stop to abortion, for a conversion of sinners," said John Pires, 59, of Flagler Beach, Fla., who said the rosary with his wife in the parking lot below the window yesterday. “Whether or not it’s a true apparition, it’s a sign to us.” So whether it’s true or not, it’s true. > [@](#): > > And Pires is kind of an expert on these kinds of things. He and his wife, Diane, also saw the image of the Virgin Mary in the window of an insurance company in Clearwater, Fla. “That one was in color,” Diane Pires said. It’s interesting to note the message he gets, considering that the hospital does not do abortions. In fact, the image is on an eye doctors office. The message I get out of this: these people should have done it only until they needed glasses. ---

Let’s pray for the conversion of Russia. Put the Mary apparition to the test. (with apologies to Pat Conroy as I paraphrased from “The Great Santini”).
