Yes, We Can!
Half a million protest immigration bill in LA...
From Access North Georgia:
More than 500,000 protesters - demanding that Congress abandon attempts to make
illegal immigration a felony and to build more walls along the border -
surprised police who estimated the crowd size using aerial photographs and other
techniques, police Cmdr. Louis Gray Jr. said.
Wearing white T-shirts to
symbolize peace, the demonstrators chanted "Mexico!" "USA!" and "Si se puede,"
an old Mexican-American civil rights shout that means "Yes, we can."

And in the Angelus...on the Color of Red
From Asia News Italy:
“The Consistory was an opportunity to feel closer than ever to all those Christians who suffer persecution because of their faith. Their witness, which we are informed of daily, and above all the sacrifice of those who were killed, are edifying for us and urge us to an ever more sincere and generous Gospel commitment.” The pope also recalled that the red colour of the Cardinal’s vestments, “the colour of blood”, indicated the “fidelity” and readiness of cardinals to spread the Gospel “to the point of sacrificing one’s life”.

Pope in Pink (Rose)-- Laetare Sunday
Liturgy check in your parish, what color vestments did your presider wear today?
Pope mentions John Paul's undelivered homily in his, from:
Pope Benedict XVI commemorated his predecessor on Sunday by quoting a passage on Christian love from a homily that the late John Paul II should have recited on April 3, 2005 - a day after his death last year.
"To humanity, which at times appears lost and dominated by the power of evil, egoism and fear, our risen lord offers in gift his love, which forgives, reconciles and opens our heart to hope. It is a love that conquers the hearts and brings peace," said Benedict, quoting John Paul's planned homily.
"It was written in the divine plans that he should leave us on the eve of that day, Saturday April 2, as we all remember. This is why he was no longer able to utter these words, which I want to recall today to all of you," Benedict said while addressing the faithful gathered in a parish in Rome created under John Paul's pontificate.
"In this sort of testament, we are invited to understand and embrace the divine mercy (of God)," Benedict said.
