LOVE OF GOD

Our God above loves us

So, we worship and adore him

His love sustains us all

OUT OF THE MOUTH’S OF BABES - CHILDISH GRACE

Catherine was having a dinner and some friends were invited

At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said

“Would you say grace?” “I don't know what to say,” she replied 

“Just say what you hear Mummy say,” the husband then plied 

The girl bowed her head and said thinking she was on a winner

“Oh Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?”

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (1973)

 

Jesus Christ Superstar is based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice Rock Opera of the same name, directed by Norman Jewison.

It tells the story of the final 6 days in the life of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) seen primarily through the troubled eyes of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson).

Being filmed entirely on location in Israel lends the film an authenticity and the anachronistic manner of the sets, with contemporary weapons on display, such as at the Temple Market work like a bridge spanning two thousand years.

The songs are memorable and well performed in particular by Ted Neeley (Jesus) Carl Anderson (Judas) Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) Barry Dennen (Pontius Pilate) and Josh Mostel (King Herod)

It’s a must watch movie whether spiritually inclined or not.

EASTER SUNDAY

Easter Sunday

Is the most important date

In the Christian calendar

The Great Fifty Days

Of Eastertide

PASCHAL MYSTERY

The Paschal Mystery

Is a concept

Central to Christian belief

When God the Father

Sent his only Son to Earth

To accomplish man’s salvation

Via the passion, death,

And Resurrection

EASTER ISN’T JUST ABOUT EASTER EGGS

 

Easter isn’t just about Easter eggs

I have a far deeper meaning in mind

Easter marks the death and resurrection

Of the saviour of all mankind
