I know it’s not Lent yet, but I received a request for a devotional thread which would allow us to reflect on the actual sufferings of Our Lord during His Passion, based on a medical evidence.  It’s something we’ve never discussed before and since  Torkay sent an interesting link, it seemed a good idea.  So, click here to read the article.

Then share your thoughts and any prayers or links you have that may help to deepen our devotion to the Suffering Christ.  Reflecting on Our Lord’s intense suffering should serve to put our own petty problems and annoyances into perspective and cause us to delve more deeply into the mystery of our salvation and to marvel at the price paid by Christ for our souls.

A number of people have expressed concern to me recently about the Swine Flu vaccine.  I keep being asked if I’m going to take it.  Answer:  “no way!”

Not that I’m knowledgable about things medical – far from it.  It’s just a gut feeling.  I could change my mind, of course.  I mean, when the politicians and the doctors get in line for the Swine Flu vaccine, I’ll consider tagging on at the end.  But certainly not before.  I’ve never wanted to be a guinea pig and I see no reason to start now.

Well?  Is there any “right or wrong” here?   Should we all take this vaccine on the chin, so to speak (but not literally!)   

Are you willing to have this vaccine and/or to allow your children to have it?   Is there a moral issue here or not?  Click on ‘comments’ now.
