    It is coming. 5 inches on top of ice expected in my areas by end of the day tomorrow. Sure will make first Friday tougher but I will make it.

    Ok so I was reading the alternate reading today out of revelation and was wondering about this passage vs the idea that our Mother did not suffer child birth pains. Is this more a metaphor for the pains of the world?

    A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
    with the moon under her feet,
    and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
    She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.

    I believe it refers to the Church.

    “Jesu! Jesu!” Thrilling a Crowd at Air and Space Museum

    Jesu, joy of man’s desiring,
    Holy wisdom, love most bright;
    Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
    Soar to uncreated light.


    Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
    With the fire of life impassioned,
    Striving still to truth unknown,
    Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

    P.S. I asked Padraig to delete thread "Christmas" that I created, because there is already this thread.
