I was tears on Saturday as I listened to the lawyer about his Daoas Dave Angel, Sheena Grace, and how its 26 years of life was a miracle for the family. Ombus, name Igorot, has remained a sweet child for life as she battled meningitis and two months after two years, hydrocephalus.

The pre-burial service at the Cathedral of the Resurrection was so appropriate for the occasion where family and friends celebrated Ombus send off into the kingdom of God.In my mind, in fact, death is not an occasion of sadness, it should be a time to thank God for the life well lived and the return of the borrowed existence. I thought that Roman Catholics do not celebrate death with joy, but sorrow inconsolable. Roman Catholics for the death feels like God had unjustly taken away one of us, and it is his show of power.

I can not read the sign on the fountain, but in any case, it seems strange to me that "salted" Holy Water in a fountain would be, especially in a pool grade. I guess the fresh water could be performed to be blessed and the tap turned off. Perhaps there was a need to take all the water discharged by the crowds jostling through. What they use at St. Peter's for the holy water now?
