There are times in your life when the moment of truth dawns on you and leaves you with no doubt. That revelation came quietly last Friday night...through a shibboleth that rings ever true and that took me slightly by surprise, coming from where it came from...that first comes God. All else follows and will fall in place.

Joan related to me yesterday how my SMS message to her came uncannily at a time when she was comforting another friend caught between the family and the beau...making us wonder if it wasn't all coincidental.

Our first RCIA session went well, quite a large group but we felt welcome and interestingly enough, topics touched upon were about St John the Baptist, the temptations of Christ in the desert, and as a discussion topic - the existence of the devil and evil today; Father Arro's lecture was good, I thought, the intellectual bent guided by faith clearly shone through yet it was his pastoral side that really mattered, being able to pitch it in a palatable manner for the diverse group that we were. And last Friday happened to be the 54th anniversary of his ordination...it's amazing how he and some of the older priests still have the strength to continue serving...thank God for them.
