EDSA Redux

EDSA Redux/People Power
08 December – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: The Virgin Mary protected the Christians in the Battle of Lepanto in the Mediterranean. And she protected millions of Filipinos on EDSA in 1986. Apt image by Stitch who captions it ‘EDSA Redux’ (flickr.com/). ‘Redux’ means ‘brought back’ or ‘returned’ or ‘used post-positively’ (American Heritage Dictionary). EDSA’s People Power was so successful (no blood shed) that it became a model for the world. And one of the secrets of that success was the faith in the Virgin Mary’s intercession.
