WELCOME BACK

I know I've said it many times before, but it flat out amazes me how fast a week flies by. I just now realized it is time to start Spiritual Sundays again. First thing we know this year will be history and we will be starting a brand new year.

Thank you again to all of you who so faithfully follow this blog and share with us each week.

If you have not linked here before and would like more

Happy Anniversary!

It is with a deep sense of gratitude and love,

 that all the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer

 offer their heartfelt congratulations to

our Father Michael Mary's parents

 Ivan and Jo Sim

 on their Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

 What volumes of example are spoken

 by the faithful fulfilling

 of your vows of fidelity for life

made to each other those sixty years ago. 

May God continue to bless you,

 your wonderful children

 and your children's children,

 and lead you all one day

 into the inaccessible light

 of His eternal Beatitude in Heaven.

Your spiritual grandchildren.

A Devotee of St Martin of Tours?

I found this video very touching. In a world where so much of what we see and hear is violence and immoral, anti-religious behaviour, it is so very refreshing to see something like this - genuine charity from one person to another. It is a wonderful feeling to help someone out, especially when they are in great need:

Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?  And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. Matt 25:37-40

Nothing more precious...Nothing regarded more cheaply.
