Theme: compassion. My friends separate their recycling and leave the bottles on the curb to make it easier for the guys who collect the bottles out of trash and recycling
bins.
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, suddenly a woman comes out of the crowd. Her name is Veronica. You can see how she cares for you as she takes a cloth and begins to wipe the blood and sweat from your face. She can't do much, but she offers what little help she can.
As a child, sometimes I know someone could use a little help and understanding. They may be picked on or teased by others, or just sad or lonely. Sometimes I feel bad that others don't step in to help, but I don't help either.
As an adult, I notice the needs around me. Sometimes my own family members crave my attention, and I don't even seem to notice. Sometimes a co-worker, friend, or family member could use help or understanding, but I don't reach out to help lest I be criticized, or that they demand more of me than I'd like to give.
My tender Jesus, Who didst deign to print Thy sacred face upon the cloth with which Veronica wiped the sweat from off Thy brow, print in my soul deep, I pray Thee, the lasting memory of Thy bitter pains.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....
Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said,"Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.

Avalokiteshvara is the patron deity of Tibet. When this guy was
confronted with the suffering of the world he was filled
with such compassion that his head burst into eleven heads, and from his body sprang a
thousand helping arms and hands, like a badass empathetic superhero. I didn't count the hands though.

Taken at Seishinin-a Shingon Sect Buddhist temple in Kyoto. The history of the temple dates back to the Heian period and is associated with the famous poet Izumi Shikibu- who was a contemporary and rival of Murasaki Shikibu, author of Tale of the Genji. The temple was rebuilt in its current location by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sometime between 1573 and 1591. The grave of Izumi Shikibu is located on the premises.
DENMARK ORDERS DEPORTATION OF WHALE DEFENDERS
5 Sea Shepherd Volunteers Were Deported From The Faroe Islands this Morning.
Rosie Kunneke (South Africa), Christophe Bondue (Belgium), Xavier Figarella (Corsica/France), Marianna Baldo (Italy), Kevin Schiltz (Luxembourg) were deported from the Faroe Islands at 0130 Hours today.
The 5 volunteers appealed the deportation request, but their appeal was rejected by Denmark.
Thet volunteers agreed to meet with police last night, they were arrested upon arrival.
The volunteers demanded to serve them time in a Faroese jail. That demand was denied.
The 5 were arrested on July 23 and later convicted for interfering in the slaughter of over 250 pilot whales on the killing beaches of Bøur and Tórshavn.
5 more Sea Shepherd volunteers were on Wednesday at the killing beach of Sandavágur where another 61 pilot whales were slaughtered.
The pod was reported to the whalers by a tourist flight on an Atlantic Airways helicopter. Under the new law tourists are obligated to report whale sightings to the whalers.
Here’s how it works in the Faroes.
A Danish Judge convicts five Sea Shepherd volunteers of the “crime” of attempting to save the lives of Pilot whales.
Denmark orders the payment of 200,000 kroner (about €30,000) in fines or imprisonment for 14 days.
Sea Shepherd and the five volunteers refuse to pay the fine and demand their right to serve their time.
As Rosie Kunneke said, “We demand to serve the time for our crimes of compassion.”
Denmark refuses to allow the five to serve the time and orders the five to be deported despite the fact that the sentences are being appealed.
The Danes refuse to answer the question of how can Denmark deport a European Union citizen if Denmark is a member of the European Union?
Will this be the way things go? Convictions followed by fines unpaid and jail sentences not served, followed by deportations. This could result in hundreds of deportations yet the opposition will continue with greater strength.
Denmark must be opposed in the courts, opposed economically, opposed politically and opposed morally.
What kind of human being in this day and age supports such a barbarically cruel activity?
The Faroese whalers and the Danes who support them are proud of the grindadrap (the murder of whales). But they should remember that Pride goeth before a fall as it says in the Bible. (Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.)
More volunteers will come, this year and next. The BOB BARKER left Bremen today bound for the Faroes.
If the whale killers attempt to kill another pod of defenseless whales, Sea Shepherd will continue to interfere undeterred by the Danish courts, the Danish Navy and the Danish government.
There can be no justification for this atrocity and compassionate people cannot morally back down in the face of such blatantly evil violence and such wantonly gross disrespect for life.
The killing of Pilot whales and their removal from a North Atlantic population, the numbers of which are unknown is ecologically irresponsible.
The grindadráp is the largest single slaughter of marine mammals in Europe. A total of 490 pilot whales have been slaughtered in five grindadráps, which have all taken place since June, this year alone.
Sea Shepherd has been leading opposition to the grindadráp since the 1980s. Operation Sleppid Grindini is the organization’s sixth pilot whale defense campaign in the Faroe Islands.
