I kept wondering why the priest wore a red chasuble and then came to know that today is the memorial of St. Ignatius of Antioch. I don't know anything about this saint but this is what Wikipedia says about him:
Ignatius of Antioch was among the Apostolic Fathers, was the third Bishop of Antioch, and was a student of John the Apostle.
Well, on that note lets get back to work.
Walking by the Spirit...
Gospel : "Woe to you! for you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it." - Luke 11:44
My Bible Commentary reads like this: The rigid observation of the Law itself does little harm, but it can lead to pride so that some pharisees take on an attitude of complacency, their sole aim being prestige in the eyes of people. Such people gradually start resembling the unknown tombs.
The Church is not anti-science, though science seems to be anti-church. Check out the list of priests who were also scientists.
Which Saint's feast are we going to celebrate tomorrow?

A Peep Into Vatican II
We all know that the Bible is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. One speaks of the beginning of the world and is an account of the Jews of olden times and the other is about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. To some both the testaments may seem disjoint. But the Old Testament is very much connected to the New Testament. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, talks about it too:
The plan of salvation foretold by the sacred authors, recounted and explained by them, is found as the true word of God in the books of the Old Testament: these books, therefore, written under divine inspiration, remain permanently valuable. "For all that was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope" (Rom. 15:4). -SC 14
