Contemplations


The gift



Jesus.
To know you is the blessing of my life.
The mind To search for You is the gift you gave me.

16th July

There was a death in the parish and the funeral was in the new church while the 11.30am mass was going on. In all these years I haven't seen many funerals at midday.

May the soul rest in peace. The flowers I took to church I offered to him, as a celebration of a life I didn't know about. It seems he had lead a good life.

Recollections

My view as I sat recollecting my week in Thanksgiving at the church.
Reading Arundhati's "Ministry of  utmost happiness" was one big high light.
Surviving a family's "relative's obligatory" run down on me for not getting married and wasting life was another. I thank God for helping me to hold my mind even when the obligation talk turned to sheer disgracing and verbal murder.
I could step up on foreign language learning towards the end of the week.

Flower offering


Today too, I had a Rose in our garden. I am enjoying very much taking flowers to Mary these days.
The flower was from the rose I pruned in the beginning of the monsoon. In four weeks it grew back and started bearing flowers.

New Van

Beautiful


The new hall where they make the ransom offering and confessions.
The picture is so photogenic.
