Nothing says “I love you” like red roses. Red symbolizes love, beauty, courage, respect, romantic love, and even congratulations. While many send red roses on Valentine's Day, surprise your Valentine this year with white roses that symbolize true love, purity, innocence, reverence, humility, youthfulness, and charm.

All Saints, Bingley, West Yorkshire.
East Window, 1890.
Charity - Purity - Love - Truth - Humility.
Designed by Henry Holiday (1839-1927).
Made by James Powell & Sons.
Annoyingly, partially obscured by the reredos.
Henry George Alexander Holiday entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of 15 and was soon drawn to the ideas, and the artists, of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He succeeded Edward Burne-Jones as the chief designer for the stained glass firm James Powell & Sons in 1863 and his style had a long-lasting effect on their production into the 1920s. Some of his windows were made by Lavers & Barraud and Heaton, Butler & Bayne, and after eventually ending his association with Powells, he established his own workshop in 1890. From about 1900 he even made his own glass at the workshop. His later work was made at the Glass House, Fulham.
Henry Holiday also worked as a painter, illustrator and sculptor, and his broad range of interests led to involvement in the campaign for Irish Home Rule, women's suffrage and dress reform.</b
I was in Prague last weekend - one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, if not further afield. While there, I was reminded of the stark contrast of life. The world bustled and hurried and scurried on around this man with excited tourists taking snaps of the sights and scenes, while listening to the droning voices of their tour guides. For this man, however, this hive of activity brings only hope. Hope for generocity and kindness. Hope for a bowl of food and a bed for the night. And perhaps something for his loyal companion and friend. A humbling experience and a strong, timely reminder of the importance of humility and the full spectrum of life as we each live and experience it.
For the Macro Mondays challenge this week, the theme is Humility. This was to take the form of an expression of humbleness.
For this subject, I decided on showing one of my first USB thumb drives, a 128MB stick. Compare it with the 16GB SD card that I use with my camera. [Even that card is 2 years old.] Also note the beat up skin of the device, showing lots of ab/use over the years. It's not pretty, yet it's still functional.
Interestingly, I still use this 128 MB stick. If I have to install drivers, it is so small that there are no compatibility issues with old machines or BIOS. This also makes it convenient to use when going to a photo kiosk to print some pictures. At 128 MB, I can't put too many "important" files on it so there's no hesitation to reformat periodically to wipe all cruft from strange machines.

See this setup here. No PP, this is the jpg straight from the camera. I tried to match it with LR after the fact but I can't get the smooth reds that are seen on the SD card.

Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet
It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.
The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"
Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Psalm 43
"... Send forth your light and your truth,
Let them guide me;
Let them bring me to your Holy Mountain,
to the place where you dwell.
...
My savior and my God."

Body language speaks louder than words! This man really caught my eye! Partly because he had a dog with him but even more so, because of the way he was standing there. Never once did I hear him verbally begging for money. He had on sign resting on the duffle bag that read, "Homeless anything will help. God bless". He was too proud!

Senator Ted Deutch Announces Candidacy For Congress
Deutch’s Proven Legislative Success and Ideally Situated Senate District Make Him a Formidable Candidate
October 15, 2009
Visit: www.TedForCongress.com
(Boca Raton) – Today, Florida State Senator Ted Deutch announced that he is a candidate for Congress in the 19th Congressional District. A special congressional election is expected to be scheduled in early 2010 for the seat that is being vacated in January by Congressman Robert Wexler.
During only his first term in the State Senate, Ted Deutch passed landmark legislation to ensure that the retirement funds of Florida’s workers do not support Iran’s illicit quest for nuclear weapons. Senator Deutch also passed legislation to protect healthcare for seniors and a bill that that will reduce smoking and fund nearly $1 billion in critical health care programs throughout Florida.
Senator Deutch’s senate district is ideally situated for a successful congressional campaign for the 19th District seat. Deutch already represents many more voters in the 19th District then any other elected official. In fact, Deutch currently represents almost half of the district’s voters. Wexler represented this senate district prior to his successful run for Congress. Also, like Deutch’s current state senate district, the 19th District is overwhelmingly located in Palm Beach County.
Senator Deutch issued the following statement regarding his run for Congress:
“It is with great excitement and humility that I announce my candidacy for Congress in Florida’s 19th Congressional District.
“This is a time of extraordinary challenges both at home and abroad. The economy is in crisis, with rising unemployment and skyrocketing foreclosures putting tremendous pressure on our families and seniors. Global concerns are at the forefront with U.S. troops on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq, the threat of terrorism, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Israel’s essential need for security.
“Much like we face today, my father also lived in a time of extraordinary challenges. As a teenager, my father volunteered for World War II where he bravely fought at the Battle of the Bulge and won a purple heart. My father was the most patriotic man I ever met. He and my mother taught me when your nation faces challenges, you step up and you serve. It is for this reason that I am running for Congress - to continue this legacy of service and to give back to my community.
“I am running for Congress because I want to work hard every day to help solve the difficult challenges that the citizens of South Florida are currently facing. I will bring to Congress the same strong work ethic and common sense that I brought to Tallahassee. I am proud of the results that I have delivered in the Florida State Senate on education and seniors, health care, and through my successful efforts to ensure that the retirement funds of Florida’s workers do not support development of a nuclear weapons program in Iran or aid genocide in Darfur.
“My leadership and proven success as a State Senator is based on simple hard work and remembering that the people always come first. This is the same commitment that I will bring to Congress.”

Second Station of the Cross: Jesus Carries His Cross.
What circumstances might we be asked to accept?
For Lent: 40 days in the Wilderness:
Jesus bore the humiliation, the suffering, of the cross willingly. Considering humility during Lent, I found this quote in my devotional readings this week:
"It was not poverty that led Lazarus to heaven, but humility; nor was it wealth that prevented the rich man from attaining eternal rest but rather his egoism and his infidelity." -Saint Gregory the Great
These Stations of the Cross are chiseled into a plaster wall. The image seen here is actually the negative space created from the concrete being removed from the wall. They were quite unique and beautiful in their simplicity.
The Chapel of St. Basil, University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX. February 26, 2006.
Today, the first Sunday after Easter, in the Catholic calendar, is the Feast Day of Divine Mercy.
80 years ago, in 1931, Jesus appeared to a humble devoted nun Sister Faustina (1905-1938) in Poland & told her: "My daughter, speak to the world of my inexhaustibly Mercy. I desire that this feast be a refuge and a shelter for all souls, especially poor sinners. The very depths of My Mercy will be opened on that day. I will pour out a sea of Graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My Mercy on this day....let no soul fear to come to Me, even if its sins be as scarlet. This feast emerged from the bosom of My Mercy and is founded in the depths of My Mercies. I desire that it be celebrated with great solemnity on the first Sunday after Easter".
Even though I am Catholic I know Jesus was calling to anyone - even those who feel they have no faith. Not one of us is without pain, concerns or in need of healing in some way.
During regular visions to Sister Faustina, Jesus asked that an image be painted of him; beneath which the words, "Jesus, I Trust in You" were to be written.
The late Pope John Paul II (1920-2005) was devoted to promoting the Divine Mercy message received by Sister Faustina; whom he proclaimed a Saint in 2000. Today John Paul II will himself move a step closer to Sainthood when he is beatified in Rome and becomes known as the Blessed John Paul II.
The only Pope Polish to date, John Paul II was a man of deep humility, compassion, warmth and good humour; and during his long reign (from 1978 until his death) he reached out to the people by visiting 129 countries.
I painted this portrait tribute, with deep prayers, on Easter Monday, wishing to pay tribute to his great example of the gift of forgiveness (which publically he gave to the terrorist who shot him in St Peter's Square in 1981); his promotion of the message of Divine Mercy & his special devotion to Mary, Mother of God...Mother of Divine Mercy.
I pray for great Blessings of peace, forgiveness & healing on this day.
Saint John Paul II. 2011

"I have come to this monument of the martyrs to pay homage to these holy men and women. But I also come in humility, as one who himself, as a young Jesuit from “the ends of the earth”, found powerful inspiration in the story of the early missionaries and the Japanese martyrs. May we never forget their heroic sacrifice! May it not remain as a glorious relic of the past, to be kept and honored in a museum, but rather as a living memory, an inspiration for the works of the apostolate and a spur to renewed evangelization in this land. May the Church in the Japan of our own day, amid all its difficulties and signs of hope, feel called to hear anew each day the message proclaimed by Saint Paul Miki from the cross, and share with all men and women the joy and the beauty of the Gospel which is the way of truth and life (cf. Jn 14:6). May we free ourselves daily from whatever weighs us down and prevents us from walking in humility, freedom, parrhesia and charity." – Pope Francis.
My homily for today's feast of St Paul Miki and Companions (the 26 Martyrs of Nagasaki) can be found here.
This sculpture of St Paul Miki hanging on the cross, with the Jesuit emblem in the window, is from the Martyrs Museum on Nishizaka Hill in Nagasaki. The sculpture was carved by Masahiro Sawada.
On this feast of the 26 Martyrs of Nagasaki, I invite you to join me on Pilgrimage to Japan, where we will visit the sites of the Martyrs, the Hidden Christians, and Our Lady of Akita.
🌸 Join me on pilgrimage to Japan this Sept 2026:
"An authentically empowered person is humble. This does not mean the false humility of one who stoops to be with those who are below him or her. It is the inclusiveness of one who responds to the beauty of each soul. ... It is the harmlessness of one who treasures, honours and reveres life in all its forms."
- Gary Zukav
