A Friend in Need Precious Savior, had I been there, Would I have been your friend? And like those faithful others Stayed until the very end? Would I have offered water As you hung upon the cross? Put my arms around your mother As she mourned her bitter loss? I pray I'd not have turned away As many did that fateful day. By: Joyce 3/20/08 |

Oh, dear Joyce, I love your words. I had similar thoughts this evening when we visited five different churches for the traditional adoration of the holy sacrament in memory of the last supper. We use to stay a few minutes in meditation. Your thoughts are perfect for the occasion. One church would be enough of course, but here we have so many wonderful churches that it is a pleasure to visit more (either 1, 3, 5, 7 etc. it should be an odd number, I have no idea why, it's the tradition). I wonder together with you ... Love, Margherita |

A humble question from a faithful lady. Especially as I watched the movie, "The Passion" I wondered what I'd have done had I been there at the time. It's so easy to think we would or would not have done some- things,but like Peter, when it comes right down to it...we're weaker than we 'd like to think. i really enjoyued this. Happy Easter to you and yours. Rae |
