An "Ah Hah" Moment

I'm loathe to mention this since I just posted a piece on Dori, but I had Mass offered for her at St Mary's, since today is her birthday. The first reading was from Genesis 2:19-25 on the creation of woman. The Gospel was from Mark 7:24-30, the story of the Canaanite woman who grovelled at the feet of Jesus for the sake of her child. Two awesome readings about women. The first about her creation and the sanctity of the union between man and woman, the second about the things a mother will do for her child.

I know that when Dori stands before her God, a member of the "great cloud of witnesses",she will plead for the man she loves, and the children who were the center of her life.

Wow! Just wow!

Til next time. all the best. Joe
