Life has been super crazy-busy of late, and it really has been quite awhile since I last updated this space! Realise I still have many pictures and stories to share, so pardon the slightly dated entries that follow this one!

This post, for example, is long overdue; the pictures are actually from over a year ago! However, while we are still in the joyous Easter season, I thought I’d share a quick one on what happened last Easter.

A good friend decided to join the Catholic family, and we were (and still are!) so happy for her! It did however mean attending the rather lengthy Easter Vigil…I don’t think I’ve ever attended the entire mass like that my entire Catholic life (and mind you, I was baptised at birth, haha!).

Thank goodness for certain slightly ‘auntie’ friends (heh!) who advised going early to ensure a seat…it was packed to the rafters! Close to when mass was about to start, the lights in the church were all switched off. Prior to that, I had never seen the church that dark before. The place was lit entirely by the light of a few candles. The people holding those candles slowly went round, passing on the light. One by one, people passed the light along each pew, until every single person held a lit candle. The church got progressively brighter, until it was alight from the flames of hundreds of candles. My description does it no justice, so please try to imagine how it was…it was a most beautiful scene to behold, both literally as well as figuratively.

Congrats and welcome to L, and a happy, happy Easter to all!

It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it, you spread His love to everyone,
You want to pass it on

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it, you want to sing
It’s fresh like spring, you want to pass it on

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I’ve found
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you’re bound
I’ll shout it from the mountain top
I want the world to know, the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on
