Enjoyed reading! So funny and so true...Hi Fr Luke,<br /><br />Enjoyed reading! So funny and so true....I exercised my own discipline these last two weeks as an experiment, to see if I could fulfil my goal. The goal was simple. If I had nothing positive to say, I should shut up. Still trying, but getting better....God Bless You, Fr Luke.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397800144658188658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-15943001578059522482013-09-16T18:29:37.635+08:002013-09-16T18:29:37.635+08:00“..........yesterday’s Liturgy is one that is redo...“..........yesterday’s Liturgy is one that is redolent with teachings of God’s unfathomable grace and mercy,......”<br /><br />The word itself – “redolent” is redolent of antiquity, evocative and suggestive of an old-world charm, of a fragrance, an aroma.........of God? I cannot agree with you more that Sunday’s liturgy is redolent of God’s merciful and compassionate love ............an extraordinary love.<br /> <br /><br />Your post speaks to me as I happen to be reading Julian’s ‘Revelation of Love”.................especially noteworthy are these haunting lines.......<br /><br />“Would you know your Lord’s meaning in this thing? Know it well: love was his meaning. Who showed it to you? Love. What did he show you? Love. Wherefore did he show it you? For Love.”<br /><br />God bless you, Fr.<br /><br />tessa<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-44496789832345796292013-09-16T11:14:36.600+08:002013-09-16T11:14:36.600+08:00C.S.Lewis taught : "When i have learnt to lov...C.S.Lewis taught : "When i have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now...." <br /><br />wtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-17486422089723363532013-09-16T08:42:19.028+08:002013-09-16T08:42:19.028+08:00Dear Fr.

That includes the 'holiest' of them as well as the most unholy amongst us. To be envious of another's good fortune, especially at having been forgiven, is to not to understand this at all. God's forgiveness, which flows from His immeasurable love for all of us, is given freely to those who seek it sincerely. That is why there is always a way back (to Him). Praise God!<br /><br />Btw, I would very much like to offer you my views on the parable of the prodigal son, with reference to something in your blog post, but it would take up too much space here; and I always try to make my comments as short as possible. Perhaps we could sit down over a cup of coffee someday and discuss this at length. God bless...<br /><br />Robbie J (the monkey who got the cucumber)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
