Dear Friends,
Happy Easter. This Lenten season I feasted! Yes you heard me right. I feasted on God’s word and shared the fruit of that experience with you. The journey was an amazing one and I thank you for being my companion. God’s word is so powerful and the Church in her wisdom has handpicked each of these Lenten readings for us. How blessed we are to have her as our mother. On my part, I have grown as a priest. I have drawn closer to the Lord and I am richer for this experience.
One of the many hats I wear, is that of also being the Director of the Archdiocesan Heritage Museum, in Mumbai. A few months ago, the Art Gallery of South Australia invited me to spend two weeks at their Museum. This is an honour for our little museum which will soon have it’s own premises. So I have a flight to catch on Easter Sunday morning. Think about it; I will be 40,000 feet in the air and close to the Risen Lord in heaven.
This means that I will be off the grid for a while. I will continue to write in the FAITH section of this blog, post Pentecost. This blog will also feature other loves that I share, namely art, heritage, music, travel and food. I hope to continue to blog from Australia about these things. So if you want to catch up with what ‘Pottypadre’ is up to, just www.pottypadre.com
