Another translation of the New Testament? Why? Don’t we have enough Bibles already? I would not have paid any more attention this book, except that I noted Lattimore’s other works.
Lattimore’s background was interesting primarily because he had a reputation as a translator of Greek classics. He has translated most the […]
RD and I just finished our Engaged Encounter weekend that started on Friday night, and ended Sunday afternoon. For nearly 48 hours, we stayed at the ME House at Punggol, with 26 other couples who were at various stages of preparation for marriage.
It was an intense experience. The EE team was very well […]
When I first heard Kiss Me, the tune was unforgettably etched into my mind. It had a cheery, light tune that was simply enchanting.
So I put the self-titled album from Sixpence None The Richer into my Amazon Wishlist, where it languished for several years. I finally bought it and had it delivered during […]
Today’s 12.15pm (OK, I woke up late) Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour was a special children’s liturgy to celebrate (belatedly) Children’s Day. The pews had colourful balloons attached. The readings and music were specially chosen and the lectors were under five feet high, reading with squeeky voices. It was a […]
Every year, Brother Ghislain from Taizé visits Singapore, and spends time sharing the message of Christ with young Christians. This year was no exception.
Tonight we had a night of prayer with Taizé music at the Catholic Archdiocesian Youth Centre. It was organised by the regular group that runs the prayer at the Armenian […]
Today is the 26th Ordinary Sunday of the year, and the Gospel tells us about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Luke 16:19-31.
Why did the rich man end up in Hades? Abraham’s words implied he was being punished not because of any sin he had committed but because he was […]
We’ve just finished going through the book of Exodus at the Harvesters. Its our first Old Testament (or more politically correct, Hebrew Scripture) book that we’ve studied, and we managed pretty well.
This book needs no introduction - its probably one of the best known stories of our time - who hasn’t watched The Prince […]
I met with ML today for coffee. It was my regular “meet-my-goddaughter” session, but alas my charming personality can’t keep toddlers occupied for more than 15 minutes at a stretch.
Our conversation turned to his ongoing quest for this doctorate, and I never cease to wonder at his untiring efforts to get the most out […]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Today was Palm and Passion Sunday. Although I had previously watched the movie, I went a second time with Rosanna, and met the Harvesters later to discuss about the movie.
One of the reasons I went out of my way to organise a sharing about the movie was because I felt the message of the movie […]
