THE EASTER SIGNIFANCE OF DANCING WITH THE STARS AND THE BOSTON MARATHON..............
What significance does Season 18 of the television show, 'Dancing With The Stars', and the 2014 Boston Marathon ran yesterday, share with Easter and the Paschal Mystery have in common ? The answer is : New Life. The New Life of Christ's Resurrection is reflected in New Life exemplified by Bostonians and those participated in yesterday's annual Patriot's Day Run, after last year's wanton bombing of the Marathon that killed three persons and wounded/maimed more than two hundred others...New Life. "Boston Strong". That New Life is also being emulated the past six weeks by Amy Purdy, Olympian / Paralympian of Team USA. Despite the loss of her feet, wearing a prostehic on both feet, with intensive practice and skill, she is succeding weekly through the competition and will go into Week 7 of the 10 week competition, with a legitimate shot at the finals and the championship. Go Amy ! Keep Going Forward !!..............fr.tdp
