The Bible at work in Hong Kong

Image
Amazing how the Bible pops up in unexpected places... such as in the Post Office! In Hong Kong's Central Post Office on the wall of the ground floor you'll find a wooden scroll with the following inscription from Proverbs:                            As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. As you queue for stamps, imagine the exiles or emmigres who have longed for a few lines of comfort. When you receive a letter from a friend or family member, you know that they have taken time out of their day to sit down, think of you, and put their love onto a page. Between the lines of news is the message Í am thinking of you, I miss you.' Their words are a balm to the recipient.The letter is saved, re-read, treasured.  God speaks to us constantly, through the deeds of others, through the environment, in those moments of calm, and sometimes, on the walls of a Post Office!

For my Sunday School class - we may in separate places but are together online!

I have two online Sunday school classes. Many of us have never met in person but we get together every week and share prayers and hopes. Thank you to all my students all for being so joyous and positive. We have a wonderful day of celebration ahead of us as Jesus is resurrected and hope return to our lives. Seeing you online each week is a real blessing.

Share the word... Bible study resources for homeschooling.

Our churches are closed and not being able to attend mass is awful, a feeling that I know is shared by many of my friends.  Here are ideas for online resources which will help make Lent brighter for you:  Superb videos for Bible studies The Apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter have an incredible link to four churches so you can pray the mass from home.  Latin mass online! Includes a link to the missal so you can follow the service We pray for strength during this time. 

What I read when I am panicking...

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:34)
