The First Mirror of Suffering
Videns autem Pilátus quia nihil profíceret, sed magis tumúltus fíeret : accépta aqua, lavit manus coram pópulo, dicens : Ínnocens ego sum a sánguine justi hujus : vos vidéritis. Et respóndens univérsus pópulus, dixit : Sanguis ejus super nos, et super fílios nostros.
Tunc dimísit illis Barábbam : Jesum autem flagellátum trádidit eis ut crucifigerétur.
"So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified." (Saint Matthew 27.24-26)

Hello!
Thank you for asking to take part in the 2007 Saint for the Year Devotion. I pray that through this devotion, all participants ultimately grow closer to God. You were chosen by St. Lupicinus, feastday of 02/28.
Please let me know that you receive this message as well as any connections between your saint and you that you would like to share
Hi Dan,
Thanks for stopping over at mine again. I've been looking at your beautiful photos from a couple of posts ago (not Pete, although he is of course beautiful too, bless him). What an amazing sequence.
Sneakily doing this at work, so I won't go into theology too much at the moment, except to say your latest post reminds me, sadly, that not much has changed. Powerful people still deny their part in the destruction of good people. We humans are slow learners.
