God and Jose Rizal

God does not prevent an airliner from crashing into a mountain; does not prevent a passenger ship from sinking into the ocean; does not prevent a residential building from burning; or did not even prevent the Catholic Spain in the 16th century to conquer the Philippines in his name and for his glory.
But lo and behold, because our Jose Rizal dared to bring intelligence and enlightenment to the Filipino mind, God was able to successfully prevent our national hero from getting executed without first signing the retraction papers.
And to think that if Rizal retracted, the Catholic friars who planned his death could have given him a decent Catholic burial. Instead, after being shot dead, this rare Filipino was just put inside an old sack and then thrown in a little corner where heretics and infidels were buried in Paco cemetery. In the meantime, for the love of Jesus, even the distant relatives of Rizal today have been kept unduly frightened by the mediocrity of the Catholic authority.Poch Suzara
