When the Homily is about Immunology

The Passion of James

Today I am reminded of something one of the few ethnically Orthodox persons at our parish said to us recently in regards to "The Passion..."

Pain is a sacred thing, not something you sit and watch while eating popcorn.

Presently I am being taunted by a sinus headache that has rendered me all but useless. Unusally useless. Looking for the sacred..no luck yet.

Prayers sought on behalf of my mother, Brenda. I believe she is on the precipice of entering into faith in Christ and Mel's movie has come along in a timely fashion to further push her in that direction. I pray she enters under the protection of the Church soon. More to come, once the bacteria or viruses stop scourging me.
