Today is Black Saturday ...
Today is Black Saturday(Philippine time), one of the best times of the year to look and contemplate the Holy Shroud of Turin. It is the cloth believed to have been used to wrap the dead body of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today is Good Friday ...
Today is Good Friday. I write a post thinking aloud a thought that came up to me while reading a book of meditations.
While Our Lord Jesus Christ was hanging on the Cross, He gave His Mother, Blessed Virgin Mary, to his disciple, St. John, to be his mother too. Despite the suffering His Mother is already enduring at that time, He imposes upon His mother one more responsibility, to be a mother to his disciple.
My mind goes to the modern feminist movement that claims equality between the sexes. In this movement, motherhood is looked upon as an obstacle to equality. This goes without saying the reason contraception is advocated by modern feminist women.
