The Day After

Today, I did what I have been doing most Saturdays since March. And that is going to mass in Sto. Nino Chapel in Green Belt. The closest church to the site of yesterday's deadly bomb blast. Our priest lead off the mass by saying what happened across the street was cowardice and people whose only crime was shopping on a Friday afternoon paid the price. He then said prayers were in order. Prayers for those families affected. Prayers for those who plotted and executed . They may not change but pray anyway. And prayers for all those who will still attend mass despite the circumstance because it makes their efforts in the community worthwhile.

I cut through the mall between the parking lot and the church. Some people were there and some stores and restaurants were open. Sad knowing how bustling it usually is and what transpired the day before. I really have no nice cute way to end this thought .
