Remember the Stranger-20,000,000 or more fallen Russian soldiers

This past Christmas season, while fund raising at Walmart, a young Russian man contributed on several  occasions and inquired about my ministry.
  He told me how in Russia they built memorials to the millions of Russian soldiers who lost their lives in WW ll.
  Sadly he said the multistory memorials were now in disrepair since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
  He said he knows of no one who is commemorating fallen soldiers except my ministry and it is very important to remember fallen soldiers because they have souls and are still alive.
  I was very moved because he understood what my ministry tries to do-commemorating fallen soldiers, better than anyone I have ever met and for most of my life the Russian people were supposed to have been our enemy and Godless.

Dear Lord grant the 20,000,000 or more Russian soldiers who lost their lives in WW ll grace at the moment of their "awful overtaking." Thank you, Lord.

"...for God time is infinitely malleable and he will have heard what the poet (and the reader) asks even now a month or a century on:

The prayer thou hearst me making
have, at the awful overtaking,
heard; have heard and granted
grace that day grace was wanted.

It is all one can do...only God can be in at the end, only the Father can help there."
Father Gerard Manley Hopkins-Jesuit priest and poet, "A Life," Paul Mariano
