2) I am so glad to hear from you again, please call me (collect) at 416-967-
3) You forgot to capitalize St. Francis Xavier.

'How many of us go to church just to show our faces

?'
  
  Dear Albert,
  I live in UK and I know of Muslims who go to their place of worship on Friday 
primarily to show their face, and for propaganda, otherwise they will be 
questioned next day.
  This sort of activity you are talking about exists is all form of organised 
society.
  You have been told several times by Goanetters, do not use this forum for 
your advocacy to say 'I'm holier than thou' - it stincks.
  Your mentality is sinking lower and lower by the day.
  Do not also say I did not post this mail to you (yes, you have before), YES, 
YOU HAVE.
  Any posting that comes on my or your PC (do you know what P stands for?) Yes, 
personal.
  Is personal to you or me, does not matter where it comes from and from who.
  ED.

Dear Albert,

You are right, but look at the positive side. We all enjoy holidays.I
still do not understand why Good Friday should be a government holiday
for the non christians in Goa. I think they should be restricted
holidays, those who want a holiday should take it. Even the superpower
USA being a secular democratic country like India does not have a
holiday on Good Friday. Why Id or Ganesh should be a holiday for
christians? There should be a maximum of only 10 governement holidays
per year and 5 restricted holidays. Every time you go to Goa, there
seems to be a holiday. Then people complain that the government
servants do not deliver.How will they deliver when near every month
there are 2 or 3 government holidays?

Regards,
j.

 really keep that Friday good ? Good Friday is the day to be remembered that

 mourning.How many of us refrain from visiting the market and eating at the 
 restuarant ? How many of us go to church just to show our faces to the people

 St.Francis xavier feast - are we really serious about this ? Does attending 
 feast mass when you cannot even sit properly, sweating and just wanting that 
 the whole thing should get over -I want to  visit a bar and quench my 
 thirst-kopacho ogot zalo-or may be a break half way - chodd gormi zalea 
 sonsinezo- ilem thond pieumche dislem munn bhair soron ailom-
 The third thing - Any change on our life ? if not there is no use of these 
 two days- instead we would be best working in our offices and lifting our 
 work to God -I think God would be pleased with our behaviour.- Catholics go 
 late to work, sometimes not go at all - come home early- Catholics sell 
 liquor - ruins a family- catholics distill liquor using batteries and urea- 
 kills thousands of people - catholics accept bribes- poor are squeezed 
 thoroughly- catholics have disproportinate wealth- poor are deprived of food 
 and the list is endless
