Showing Soon, Now Showing
27 December – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: The Virgin Mary loved her Baby. The Filipino loves children. And in every child you are loving God. Apt image from SquareRoot who captions it simply ‘Pregnancy’ (flickr.com/). She is a Filipina would-be-mother; I can tell from the overall impression (when I searched Flickr, I included the word Filipino). The photograph is beautifully & delicately rendered that I can almost feel the tenderness. There is no baby yet, but it’s alright. The mother’s quietly happy. The baby will be ‘Showing Soon,’ but already you can tell that the mother cares so much about her baby she is anticipating the ‘Now Showing.’ And I know that she is going to breastfeed her child. She is a Filipina after all.
