Jesus’ good mom is quite inconsolable on Holy Saturday. A flower for her? What could that possibly do? The above is not a “corpse flower”, but those below are “corpse flowers.” They need no sunshine in order to thrive. They do best in the dark days.
Similarly, from the past, at Holy Souls Hermitage…
Anyway, timidly approaching a mourning mother of the Son she just saw tortured to death in the most vicious way devised by fallen humanity of the time… for you, mother Mary… Hail Mary…
Is not one’s heart as if ripped out of one’s chest when in solidarity with her who is the Mother of the Redeemer?
