DIVINE MERCY

THIS DAY BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES FOR ME.  FOR MANY YEARS WHEN WE WERE STILL PART OF A LARGE CHOIR WE USED TO HOST A WONDERFUL BRUNCH AT OUR HOME AFTER MASS. 

WE INVITED THE MUSICIANS AND SOME OF OUR FRIENDS FROM CHURCH AND/OR THE NEIGHBOURHOOD TO JOIN US FOR THE “DOUBTING THOMAS BRUNCH” . 

WE SET UP TABLES OF ALL SIZES THROUGHOUT OUR HOME AND ASKED FOR FOLKS TO BRING ‘POTLUCK’ ADD ONS LIKE FRUIT , MUFFINS, ETC. AND WE PROVIDED THE MAIN PROTEINS LIKE EGGS AND BACON AND SAUSAGE. 

WE PUT THE ‘MENU’ ON A LARGE MIRROR WITH WIPEABLE MARKERS AND OUR HOUSE WAS ADORNED WITH FLOWERS ON EVERY SURFACE IT SEEMED.  IT LOOKED SO PRETTY AND THE FOOD WAS SOOOO GOOD. 

DOUBTING THOMAS IS SUCH A FAVOURITE BIBLE PASSAGE OF MINE.  I MEAN WHO CANNOT RELATE TO A PERSON WHO NEEDS PROOF BEFORE THEY WILL BELIEVE? AND GOD IS SO MERCIFUL THAT HE GREETS  UNBELIEVERS BY SHOWING US HIS WOUNDS …BUT ALSO OFFERING US PEACE. ( SHALOM!)

NOW WE HAVE BRUNCH BY OURSELVES AND IT IS GOOD.  BUT I MISS THOSE DAYS OF GATHERING AND CELEBRATING THE GREAT DIVINE MERCY. 

 THANK GOD FOR ZOOM !  IT’S TIME FOR ME TO MEET MY BEST FRIENDS …..
