From Sacred Space this week: The adult Christ is hardly intelligible to children before adolescence. But for teenagers he incarnates the highest values of all: freedom and love. As he appears in the Gospel he is the freest of people: unpredictable, and alarming the respectable; a shocking, revolutionary figure whom society eventually found too dangerous […]

Like Wax
Another excerpt from Merton’s New Seeds of Contemplation(p.164): Souls are like wax waiting for a seal. By themselves they have no special identity. Their destiny is to be softened and prepared in this life, by God’s will, to receive, at their death, the seal of their own degree of likeness to God in Christ. And […]
Yogatta do wat Yogatta do
The notepad Sa Sa passed me today from Wanting. ^^ Love it when friends give me things that seem to come with a knowing wink. :)
Life in Christ
Excerpt from Merton’s New Seeds of Contemplation (p.163-4): Why should I fear anything that cannot rob me of God, and why should I desire anything that cannot give me possession of Him?

My Inner Room
Some time last year I discovered my inner room… the place where I realize I can hear the Voice of Love reminding me of who I am and Whom I live for. It’s a serene and beautiful place because when I’m there, I’m at peace with myself and the world. In the midst of busy […]

Very appreciative of friends who have been giving advice and extending […]
The Baby Bandwagon
Guess what? At my wedding, TWO of my dearest friends will be there with big tummies! I can’t announce the new name yet until she informs all her family, but I’m super excited and happy for her! And I’m rather envious at the new Mummy Club that these two dears have formed. It would be […]
Something to pray about
This is on Sacred Space this week: In the Northern hemisphere this week includes the longest day of the year, a time to look backwards and forwards, a central date. On such a day, “halfway through life’s journey”, Dante started his ‘Divina Commedia’ with the words, “Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita.” (“How do […]
