REFLECTION – “He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth;  He who was able to loose the mortal chains of death and after three days’ darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for sister Martha:  He, I believe, will make Damasus rise again from the dust.”……………St Pope Damasus Ihe who walking on the sea - st pope damasus I - 11 dec 2017
