In the 2nd group, Sr Susay a cenacle sister is the EA to the group.
11 August 2009 – the first session chaired by Sr Susay got underway. Started at 8pm and we finished at 9.15pm. 3 members of the 1st group joined us as observers – Bobby, Liz & Louis. The Preamble was explained to us.
25 August 2009 – the second session was chaired by Liz as Sr Susay was away. We looked at the Preamble in greater details.
8 Sept 2009 – the third session was chaired by Sr Susay. Examination of Conscience was explained to us and we did spent some time in self-reflection before we shared our stories in faith.

Thomas Smith uses the Bible Timeline as the reference to give us a general view of scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.
Very interesting and refreshing time during 2 days. Below is a summary of some events during these 2 days.
A personal note from me over this period ..
Let share a story with you .. for a long time, my image of God is that of a policeman. An appropriate symbol would be an all seeing, pervasive 24/7 eye. Terrifying and over the many years of my life, this has been the image and I have learned to live and put up with it.
Your talk on the merciful Father/Prodigal struck a chord within me that week and I carried the message for a while and on that following Sunday, the disciples in gospel message was asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. He told them how much more would Father give us the Holy Spirit … I cried that Sunday mass, of course in a corner where I hope nobody was looking. I cried for 2 reasons … that my all seeing policeman Father was actually the merciful Father who runs to meet his son before welcoming him home .. and for the times I was shown mercy and yet I didn’t show any mercy to my fellow human beings including myself. I was hard on myself as well. This shift is certainly a grace.
I thank God for the insight He has shown through you. Thank you Thomas for your presence and your talks.

Some small touch up to the statue on Friday, 24 July 2009 and I have settled the issue of the defective paintwork.
Andrew and his contractor managed to unstuff the statue and below is a summary of images.
