After another long, physically-demanding day followed by a dinner of the hottest camarones a la diabla I've ever eaten (and lived to regret it!) and a couple of beers, I don't feel much like writing anything witty or relative to tomorrow's readings tonight. But I do want to ask anyone reading this blog to pray for the victims of the earthquake that hit Japan early this morning. Here is a link to where you can donate to the earthquake/tsunami emergency relief fund. God will surely bless you for your concern.

Jesus Meets His MotherWe adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, you feel so alone with all those people yelling and screaming at you. You don't like the words they are saying about you, and you look for a friendly face in the crowd. You see your mother. She can't make the hurting stop, but it helps to see that she is on your side, that she is suffering with you. She does understand and care.
As a child, sometimes I feel like too many things are going on. Sometimes other kids pick on me and call me names. I need to look around me for a friendly face, and for the help I need. I need to share my troubles with those who truly care about me.
As an adult I sometimes feel overwhelmed by many things. Life is so competitive, and I worry so much about my future and those who have some control over it. I need to remember that being an adult does not mean having to solve every problem all by myself. I need to look around me for a friendly face, for the help I need.
Jesus most suffering, Mary Mother most sorrowful, if, by my sins, I caused you pain and anguish in the past, by God's assisting grace it shall be so no more; rather be you my love henceforth till death.
Our Father....
Hail Mary....
Glory be to the Father....
Jesus Christ Crucified, have mercy on Us.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
Amen.
