Thought for Today
“At the bottom of his shaft the Mexican Miner
has a shrine of the Blessed Virgin, dressed usually in overall with a miner’s
hat cocked over her head. Here, when he goes to work, he prays for a day free
from accident; and before leaving, many a peon prays again, this time that the
high-grade ore he has stolen and hidden about himself will not be discovered.”
John van Steen
