Train Crash - Close to Home

[billbennettoz]

The horrific train crash just outside of Santiago is so close to home for so many of us.

This is the same train my daughter used to take regularly, when she was living in Madrid and wanted to visit Galicia. My wife and I took the RENFE trains only just recently after I finished my Camino.

Shocking tragedy like this sometimes happens outside our immediate sphere, but this one is very close and very immediate. And to make the tragedy worse, on the eve of St. James' Day, a time for celebration. How truly devastating.

My thoughts and prayers to anyone affected.

Bill

I feel the same. I am planning to attend St James mass here in London. It will be very different now, but a good occassion to pray for all of them who have been affected. My sincere condoleances for all the passengers who have died.
