(CNS photo/Reuters)A statue of Mary is seen standing amid the rubble of a Louisville, Colo., home destroyed by a wildfire Dec. 31, 2021. The statue that Tom Greany and his wife, Kat, had placed outside their home was left unscathed except for the soot that covered its right side. “Bricks appeared to have fallen all around her — some probably even hit her. But she didn’t even fall over,” Greany wrote in a reflection shared with Catholic News Service by a friend, who asked to remain unidentified. Greany wrote that the discovery of the statue is a reminder of how their faith provides protection and can “sustain us through everything.” (CNS photo/courtesy Tom Greany)
