When the Summertime solstice came and went, more than one person was heard to say, albeit with humour, ‘countdown to Christmas now then’. It was quite startling to hear. We were reminded when we went to Mass that weekend that we’re now in ‘Ordinary Time’.  Yet, many of us are planning our holidays, looking for the different ways we can recharge our batteries, seeking to break out of the ‘ordinary’.

This week, we finally finished a project that’s been on our workbench for years—a cross. With Easter approaching, we put in a big effort to complete it. Specifically, it’s a crucifix with a ‘Risen Lord’ figure on the second side. This illustrates Jesus’ love for us when he died on Good Friday and his overcoming death when he rose on Easter Sunday. Completing this project sparked a conversation about “seeing the two sides” in life, beyond just our own viewpoint. During our routine walks, we often ponder which direction to take, recognising that each way offers a different perspective. It’s lik ..read more
