Three Times Fallen
orchidee said:
A \'lovely\' write in a way Gary. Well, in the sense that we benefit from Christ\'s Passion. The Presentaion of Christ in the Temple/Candelmas is Feb 2nd. Do you observe it in R.C. Church? The aged Simeon said to Mary then \'And a sword will pierce your own soul also\' - the suffering she would experience, as here.
Meanwhile - them wooden pews will catch alight one day, with all those candles! Candlelight Services are hazardous too.

High Face Crimes

A fine write Gary. I\'m sure it didn\'t mean going to extremes - \'If one smites you on the right cheek, offer him the left cheek also\' but Christ didn\'t add \'And let him give you a good beating too!\' doh!

A fine write Gary, as I try to unravel it. I lost the plot, and ended up with stone jars - amphora! lol.

Thanks Orchidee! We’re old only in body correct? Spiritually - we’re just boys - children looking for ever new experiences with all the rest of our mates (other boys and girls).

Would They Lock Me Up?
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. I was going to do a poem of similar title, relating to me singing (was I? lol). Erm, the answer would be \'Yes\'. Aww, why they lock me up in a sound-proof room? I was only trying to sing! lol

Immaculate Heart of Mary
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. I suppose I differ somewhat with my Protestant background.
I\'m uneasy about \'Prayers to Mary\' tacked on to the end of some High-Church Anglo-Catholic services.

What a great reply from a son who experienced the torment. Sometimes it is necessary to enlighten relatives, as to the pain we suffered, because of their thoughtless actions.
Great job!

World Religions
orchidee said:
A fine write Gary. Though I could get controversial. By \'religion\' I don\'t mean Catholic, Protestant, or other Christian \'branches\' or denominations.
But then again, \'religion\' is often the problem, even the cause of some wars and other troubles.

Kerygma
orchidee said:
A fine and true write Gary. I spent ages, as one author\'s favourite word, it seemed, was kerygma. Had to look it up. Shall we kerygmatise instead of evangelise? Or is kerygma specifically related to PREACHING the Gospel?
A joke says - Who is Kerygma? I don\'t know the guy - or gal! I\'ll shut up now. lol.

The Scandal of the Lights

A fine write Gary. Yes, \'ordinary\' time now, aptly named. Yet the star-light shone at the Epiphany for the wise men/Magi.
Are we wise men/women?! heehee.
