Now I don't intend to fill this blog with every activities of my day because I don't think anyone really is that interested but as I'm still playing around with this blog it's a good intro.
So anyway had to go pick my car up from the 90000km service and naturally what I thought would be $150 turned out to be $320 as I needed new spark plugs and an air filter and other such bits. Of course I am at their mercy as I have no idea about half the stuff they are talking about, let's just hope they were honest. The mechanic isn't far from my place and very convieniently located on the tram line that is very close to my place so I trammed it out. Once I had the car (in good condition now but still filthy) I drove into JPII in the city to submit my essay which is always a great moment. Nothing is more fulfilling in the life of a student that the scene of the cover page,
Once that was proudly done I tracked into the library to return the 10 books I had. No sooner was that done though did I find a whole new pile to keep me entertained for the next few days. As I mentioned this essay is on Mariology and I think I will write on the Motherhood of Mary as seen in the Gospel of St John. We'll see what happens in the mean time I have my books to keep me company,
All the business now over I walked over to St Patrick's Cathedral (Just behind JPII) to talk to the good Lord, I got there just after 12 so went to confession while I was there,
They have confessions every day from 12 to 1pm and there is always a bit of line but that is a good thing. I was sitting in the line and I was thinking how wonderful it was that all these people from all walks of life, men, women, young, old, business people and tourists come to this place to encounter the mercy of Christ who acts through the priest. None of us are perfect, that is why we are there, but we struggle, we fall and we pick ourselves up again and over the years with God's Grace the falls can become less frequent and less serious. I feel sorry for those who once practiced their faith but have since given up, finding it all too much for many reasons. May God give us all the Grace of perseverence in this life. Now with my sins forgiven I sat for a while, and said a few prayers waiting for Mass at 1pm to begin. This Cathedral is where I go to Mass each Sunday night after work and I have grown to love the place. It is such a beautiful building that one's heart can't be helped but raised to God,
Now back at home I have had some lunch and will think about getting into some of those books. I'm guessing that this essay will not be done by the 31st as that is tomorrow but atleast there is just the one to go.
(As I type this I have been listening to Jetty Road, a sort of modern country band. I sat next to the lead singer on one of my trips bcak to Sydney and while I was there saw them perform at the Mean Fiddler in Windsor. There musci is pretty good www.jettyroad.com)
God Bless :)
