An Easter Question

Someone suggested I post the following question during these Holy Days of the Easter Triduum:


Who wiped the face of Jesus on the way to Golgotha?


Know the answer?

  1. Like the Woman at the Well none of the Gospels names this woman of courage. I decided to google the name Veronica...which is the name given to her by Holy Mother Church...and i found 2 meanings for the name...one said it came from the latin meaning "true image" and the other said it meant "victory bearer". i like the first 1 best..on the cloth she used tradition say Jesus left the imprint of His face...was He telling us that, if we go to Him by serving our neighbor that He will leave His image on us so we are a constant reflection of Him to all we meet. I think she , like the woman at the well, represents all of us so her name is really her message.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
