I know this is a small thing, but somehow it does my heart good to see a cardinal wearing a simple, off-the-rack clerical shirt (the kind with the "tongue depressor" tab) instead of a fancy tailored rabat. Nice job, Your Eminence.

On a more serious note, please pray for the Haitian and Dominican people. Reports in the aftermath of the hurricane are in excess of 100 dead, with the number likely to rise.
