One of the many things I need to do now that I am back online is sort through all of the tasks that have been backing up. Here is one of the clips of The Rock Mass that I’ve managed to get off my computer and up to YouTube. Thanks to Trash II Treasure for the shooting and editing.
Guess I’d better update Metanoia’s website.
Over on Facebook I shared an article about Fox News’ “fight” for a “traditional Christmas”. Pat challenged me to make a meme. Challenge accepted!
It would seem that in the USA they’re having fun and games over who is allowed to party. Some angry theists are being taken to court by angry antitheists about who is allowed to have a party. Lots of cava is being spilled and people are crying over it.
Those of you who know me well will know I’m well up for Christmas and will be partying like its going out of fashion! But when you are a priest and have to hold the liturgical life of the local church it becomes part of you. As the article explains, Christian celebrations in december begin with Advent. So I will be partying but we’ll be doing it at Christmas. For now it’s Advent.
And this is the UK. No one is banning Christmas. That’s just a sneaky attempt every year by racists to recruit people to their cause.
Happy advent!
“I thank you for this, my God,
I am a traveller and stranger
in the world,
like so many of Your people
before me.There is a sense of adventure,
of openness to possibilities,
abandonment to God
and expectation
of fulfilling his will.I accept the responsibility,
I’ll hear and obey,
and trust it is Your voice I hear,
the call of the Spirit,
the cry of the Bird of Heaven.It is a Yes to risky living…
The sea takes me;
where I do not know,
but I gladly go.
And I can only trust
every word You say,
and obey.”– Celtic Daily Prayer

This is a video that everyone on earth should watch at least once. Most people should watch it often.
When I graduated the first time I couldn’t even tell you who spoke to us, let alone what they spoke about. It certainly didn’t inspire me to go and live life and enjoy the journey. Needless to say, the second time around I graduated in absentia…
