AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם

I think, what's Genius about Anna of the tribe of Asher was that she did not need to utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. Her faith was largely intuitive.



LUIS ANTONIO GOKIM TAGLE: We hope we could also be like Simeon and Anna, always looking forward to seeing God’s salvation.






"Ashes are symbolic, but what do you do with them? Ashes are somewhat unique because they do not constitute a body that would need to be buried in a halachic sense. There is no longer the 'chiuv' — the obligation — to bury it because it is no longer recognizable. If a body is burned completely, the ashes are considered to be something that there is not an obligation to bury, but the bottom line is that although there might not be a chiuv to bury, burial nonetheless is the opinion of most of the rabbis who write about it, both for 'kavod hamet' — honoring the dead — and also honoring the living. That included parts of the human body — skin for lampshades, soap made out of bodies. You bury them, out of respect for the martyrs of the Shoah, to indicate that their remains will be included in 'techiyas hameisim,' the resurrection of the dead and World to Come, when one day, we will meet our loved ones again."

ST. PAULS: Anna does not utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. She just thanks God for the Child. She also speaks about Him to her fellow Jews who, like her, await the redemption of Israel. As a prophetess, she evangelizes.
RUTH ADAR: There is a blessing for the sight of a volcanic eruption: 
"Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haOlam, sheh-ko-KHO ug-vu-rah-TOH mah-LAY oh-LAHM. 
Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of All-that-is, whose strength and power fill the world."

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
