Bishop Dan and Carol Herzog affected by recent tornado in the US
“Bishop Dan and Carol Herzog’s home in Mariaville was one of the homes severely damaged by the tornado that hit Wednesday night,” writes Bishop Bill Love of Albany Diocese.
“By the grace of God, Carol, who was at home at the time of the storm, was able to take cover in the basement seconds before the tornado hit, thus avoiding what most likely would have been life threatening injuries.
Please hold Bishop Dan and Carol up in your prayers as well as all others who were impacted by the storm, giving thanks to God that Carol’s life was spared and that she and others in the area suffered no physical injuries.
We also pray that their needs will be met in the days and weeks to come as they recover and rebuild following the storm.
Moments like this remind us of how quickly our lives and that of our loved ones can change. This most recent storm is just one more in a growing number of natural disasters to hit the Northeast and our nation in the past few years. Untold families and individuals from earlier storms are still trying to put their lives back together.
May the Lord guide and lead each of us in knowing how best to reach out and help and minister to those in need – not just in the short term, but over the long term as well.”
Your Brother in Christ
