Feast of Corpus Christi

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"... ~~William Shakespeare~~
The Eucharist is not simply a meal; it is really and truly the Body and Blood of Christ. It is also the sacrifice that changes our lives. The sacrifice of young bulls that we read about in the Hebrew Bible changed the lives of those who offered that sacrifice. The Gospel of the day repeats the words heard at each Eucharist: “This is my body...this is my blood.” Jesus pointed to his blood as “life,” the source of new life for those who receive it.
This afternoon went over to Peter's place to show him the video I had taken. Peter O'Leary and Me at his place in Whitby

Trinity Sunday

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't 

 change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
The first Sunday after Pentecost is the Festival of the Holy Trinity. On this day, the church rejoices in the impenetrable mystery that God is triune (three-in-one) -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How the Lord can be one God in three distinct persons is completely beyond the ability of any human to understand. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians accept this incomprehensible mystery as a fundamental article of faith.
"Yours truely teeing off at 16th this morning on a very cold wintry day. A round of 84"
"Christine checking out REBOUND SHOP, Petone"
Had a busy weekend on Saturday watched Upper Hutt play University Old Boys at Maidstone park. Saw a number of Stream OldBoys as both spectators and players, Tim Fairbrother, Jamie Norman, Peter Mole. Caught up with Pat Mole, Paul Chandler, Lindsay Campbell whom I dropped home as southerly arrived just as the game was finishing. Upper Hutt lost 28 -30 after being 28 -16 up with 15minutes to play.
This afternoon took a spin into Roxborough St, Wellington to view an open home. This townhouse had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, study and a garage with internal access. This property is in a prime location within 3 mins walking distance to Courtney place. Yes something to think about!
