I was born in St. Mary's Infirmary in 1957. This is one part of Galveston's history that always punches me in the guts, and sickens my spirit. Imagine being a child and dying in a raging storm. They were not given much time at all to prepare, like some children dying in hospitals might get.

My Grandparent's home featured on the aerial map of Galveston on 1872 survived the 1900 Hundred Storm and was still structurally sound until 2009 when the Wendy illegally had it demolished without my knowledge. Truly a historical site that had been researched. It ain't o'va!👊🏾

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. O Christ, Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. Most Holy Spirit, Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O Trinity of love and power, Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. This is for everyone lost that year

Queen of the Waves, look forth across the ocean From north to south, from east to stormy west, See how the waters with tumultuous motion Rise up and foam without a pause or rest. But fear we not, tho' storm clouds round us gather, Thou art our Mother and thy little Child Is the All Merciful, our loving Brother God of the sea and of the tempest wild. Help, then sweet Queen, in our exceeding danger, By thy seven griefs, in pity Lady save; Think of the Babe that slept within the manger And help us now, dear Lady of the Wave. Up to thy shrine we look and see the glimmer Thy votive lamp sheds down on us afar; Light of our eyes, oh let it ne'er grow dimmer, Till in the sky we hail the morning star. Then joyful hearts shall kneel around thine altar And grateful psalms re-echo down the nave; Never our faith in thy sweet power can falter, Mother of God, our Lady of the Wave. Queen of the Waves is a French Marian hymn (author unknown) sung by French fishermen seeking protection from storms. In the United States, it became well known as a result of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. The nuns of the St. Mary's Orphan asylum had the orphans sing this song (in English) in order to calm them. Of the 93 children and 10 sisters in the orphanage, only three teenage boys survived. As a result of this event, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word across the world sing this song every year on 8 September, and remember the sisters and orphans that died that day.

Haunted by evil spirits, not by the children of nouns. They are certainly in heaven.

the story of these beautiful and saintly nuns should put all those so called modern "nuns" who, since Vatican ll, have abandoned their habits and asceticisms to embrace the modernist heresy, making them no more than glorified social workers. Hopefully some day they will return to their first love and be worthy to be in the same company as these holy women.

I saw a beautiful picture of that motherly love where you have to tell a child it's going to be ok, when you know it's all coming down. Their innocence is ours to protect.
