UPF Honors 70 Years of Human Rights
Written by Franco Ravaglioli, secretary general, UPF-Italy
Monday, December 10, 2018
Monza, Italy—The local chapter of UPF held its annual commemoration of the day when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into existence. This year's celebration marked 70 years since the declaration was signed in 1948.
The conference, which took place on December 10, 2018, focused on the human rights situation in Myanmar, Syria and Togo. Journalist Carlotta Morgana was the conference host, together with Carlo Chierico, president of the Monza chapter of UPF.
Mr. Chierico introduced the evening with this thought: "When politics ceases to deal with the people, it must be civil society that takes the field for the defense of rights"—a reference to the words of Gianni Rufini, the director general of the Italian branch of Amnesty International.
Ettore Fiorina of UPF-Monza gave the biblical example of Rizpah, the mother who watched over the bodies of her children and all those who died together with them, because "Every child is the son of everyone."
The speeches were opened by Fabrizio Annaro, director of the online newspaper Dialogue of Monza, who decided to put "good news" on his front page. In his speech he emphasized that good news makes the same imperceptible noise as a forest growing. "The growing forest is the actions of men of good will who exist and act. And that we all can be in our everyday life. We will perhaps never be a majority, but as that 'minority of the righteous' mentioned in the Talmud, we will have the strength to lead the whole world."
Carlo Chierico recalled that all UPF activities have been inspired by the founders, Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, citing in particular the activities for peace and human rights developed with great commitment at the world level.
He then introduced the Togolese journalist Kokouvi Aligbo, who was forced to seek political asylum after writing articles not welcomed by the president of his country.
The second speech was by former Senator Albertina Soliani, who testified about the deep friendship she established with the leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi. Senator Soliani described how Aung San Suu Kyi is taking actions to implement a "spiritual revolution" in Myanmar.
The last presentation was given by Lorenzo Locati, who chose to roll up his sleeves and do something, even without government backing. A former professor of physical education, he founded in Monza the non-profit organization known as Insieme ("Together") to bring humanitarian aid to Syria. Mr. Locati spoke enthusiastically about "the Bandage School" for disabled or abandoned children. "We do not pretend to solve the problem, but at least try to apply a bandage," he said.
After 70 years, the principles written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are entrusted to us. And it is up to us to ensure that those around us can continue to read them by continuing to write them in our lives and in our actions … faithful to the first principle of the charter: "to act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood" … as human beings "endowed with reason and conscience."

"He told me: I have more memories in myself alone than all men have had since the world was a world." I was Funes, the character of a 1942 Borges short novel...but now I should be the web.Our world become every day more virtual and digital oriented and the place where most of the information are searchable and available is the web.
The stuff as memories are done, now, are not dreams but bites.
Every society found its roots on memories and on technologies supporting it – before oral then written on a material support – and now? What will be the next?
We will left the heavy paper volume for the light cloud? Memories will be purely digital?We have the perception everything is accessible hic et nunc... if not, is a broken link error.
But digital information brings new challenges and problems.
In the Orwell's book 1984 the suggestion is: 'who controls the past […] controls the future: who controls the present control the past.'
Who will be the controller , the ruler and the certifier of the e-memories?
How thin is the line between the freedom of speech and the individual rights? The right to be informed and the right to be forgotten?
The EU support the right to be forgotten as a citizen right.
If the Voltaire's thoughts were summarized in Tallentyre's quote: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" we will be able to defend also this right?

Digital Memories and Scientific Governance: the role of Digital Memory Technologies in Research and Innovation Policies and Practices – an empirical study
This study, focusing the attention on the concept of "memories", aims to analyse the impacts of new "digital technologies of memories" in research and innovation practices and in the processes of knowledge production and governance.
This study will consider the impacts of a 'memory paradigm shift' in the research and innovation work, including tools, practices and policies and will investigate how current knowledge-production processes are being redefined by recent technological developments in digital memory capture, storage and retrieval. The study will explore the socio-technical practices of memory-making and memory retrieval, and the varied technologies of data capture, data storage and information drawing particular attention to digital memory objects and technologies and the associated practices of creating, maintaining and using scientific digital archives.
Planned activities
A field study at JRC (exploratory focus group and questionnaires and interviews).
A paper.
RTBF Right to Be Forgotten
As highlighted in the Article 17 of the proposal for a Directive on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation) of the 25th January 2012 the right to be forgotten is becoming a legal and real possibility for the European citizen. The assumption that the web never forgets should change our approach and the way we disclose information in the net. But if Confucius suggest Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change, all of us can ask for a revision of information released when are no longer necessary. The knowledge reachable through internet is a stratified and the border between the individual right and the freedom of expression is sometimes hard to be identified.
This project will aim to investigate the ethical implications of the Article 17, to consider the necessities of the special needs people and will try to answer to the emerging questions on the "right to be forgotten" and "right to be remembered".

Translation of the Gregorian Canon
One problem with Roman Catholic devotional missals that include a parallel translation of the Latin canon is that a literal rendering of the Latin does not always flow well in English. Even worse is the wholesale paraphrasing in the English vernacular Eucharistic Prayer I of the Missal of Paul VI now in use in Roman Catholic parishes in America.
I offer to provide another version for devotional purposes that seeks to remain faithful to the spirit of the Latin text while putting it in classic Cranmerian English. I am seeking after something that is both genuine and also beautiful and prayerful. Below is my translation of the eucharistic prayer of the Liturgy of St. Gregory (the Roman Rite) in "Prayer Book language." It is a work in progress. I have noted the Latin paragraphs to help you follow the translation. The alternative proper clauses have been left out. Also, I have placed in brackets any explicit additions that seemed appropriate to me. I invite your feedback.
Canon Missae
Te Igitur
[Almighty and] most merciful Father, we humbly beseech thee through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, that thou wouldst accept and bless these + gifts, these + offerings, these holy + and unblemished sacrifices, which we offer unto thee for thy holy Catholic Church; vouchsafe to grant unto it thy peace and unity and thy protection and governance throughout the world, together with thy servants N. our Pope, N. our bishop, and with all those who cherish the Catholic and Apostolic faith.
Memento Domine
Remember, O Lord, thy servants and handmaidens [N. and N.], and especially this congregation here present (whose faith and devotion are known unto thee alone) who offer this sacrifice of praise for themselves and for all they hold dear, for the redemption of their souls and for the hope of their safety and salvation, and do now render unto thee, everlasting God, living and true, their most bounden duty and service.
In the fellowship and veneration of the most blessed and glorious ever Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Lord and God Jesus Christ, [and of blessed Joseph her husband,] and also of thy blessed Apostles and Martyrs Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Thaddeus, and of Linus, Cletus, Clement, Xystus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and of all thy saints; grant for the sake of their merits and prayers that we may be defended by thy might and holpen by thy mercy; through Christ our Lord.
Hanc Igitur
We most humbly beseech thee O Lord, that thou wouldst graciously accept this oblation of our service, and that of all thy people; grant unto us peace in our day and deliverance from eternal damnation, that we may be numbered in the flock of thine elect; through Christ our Lord.
Hanc Igitur
And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us; and of thy almighty goodness, vouchsafe [by the outpouring of thy Holy Spirit] to + bless, + sanctify, and + approve this offering, making it reasonable and acceptable, that for our good it may verily become the + Body and + Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord;
Qui pridie
Who in the night in which he was betrayed, took bread into his holy and venerable hands; and having lifted up his eyes to heaven, unto thee, God his Almighty Father, and having given thanks unto thee, he + blessed, broke, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat, for this is my Body." Likewise after supper, taking into his holy and venerable hands this glorious chalice, again having given thanks unto thee, he + blessed it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Drink ye all of this; for this is the cup of my Blood of the new and eternal Testament, the Mystery of Faith, which shall be shed for you and for many for the remission of sins. Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me."
Unde et memores
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy humbly servants, having in remembrance the blessed passion and precious death of thy Son Christ our Lord as well as his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension, now offer unto thy divine Majesty from these thy holy gifts, a + Victim which is pure, a + Victim which is holy, a + Victim which is spotless—the holy Bread of life eternal and the Cup of everlasting salvation.
Supra quae
Vouchsafe to look upon them with a merciful and gracious countenance, and accept them as thou didst accept the gifts of thy righteous servant Abel, the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which thy high priest Melchizedek offered unto thee, a holy sacrifice, an immaculate victim.
Supplices te
We most humbly beseech thee, Almighty God, to command that these our prayers and supplications, by the ministry of thy holy angels, may be carried unto thine altar on high before the sight of thy divine Majesty, that we who shall be partakers of these holy Mysteries may worthily receive the most precious + Body and + Blood of thy Son and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; through the same Christ our Lord.
Memento etiam
Remember, O Lord, thy servants and handmaidens [N. and N.], who have gone before us with the sign of faith, and now rest in the sleep of peace; we beseech thee to grant unto them, and to all who rest in Christ, a place of refreshment, light, and peace; through the same Christ our Lord.
Nobis quoque peccatoribus
Although we are unworthy servants, through our manifold sins, we humbly beseech thee mercifully to grant us grace to share in the fellowship of thy holy Apostles and Martyrs: of John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and of all thy saints. Into their blessed company, we beseech thee to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord, the fount of all + holiness, + life, and + blessing upon every gift of creation.
By + whom, and with + whom, and in + whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.

Powerful. That is the prayer contained in the Holy Roman Church's "Book of Divine Worship": their version of the 1979 BCP.
- Fr Timothy Matkin said...
Very close. I believe the version in the BDW may be the Coverdale translation (for Rite One), which does not always roll off the tongue very smoothly. This is a new rendering, trying to make things smoother and utilize, when possible, Cranmer's phraseology in the Anglican liturgy.
- Anonymous said...
The Coverdale version is not perfect, but more fathfull to the letter (and spirit) of the Latin original.
If you wish to do a good translation, translate strictly literally, lest it is not worth of.
"Papa", "antistitis", "cultor" etc - so many words replaced. Why? Those are even the words which testify of the ancientness of the Roman canon.

Thanks for showing us how many abortions have happened since opening the page, I was almost hopeless that our world would just keep getting overpopulated.

Carnival Victory to become Carnival Radiance in 2020
Carnival Cruise Line has announced a dry dock that will transform Carnival Victory into Carnival Radiance.
The move represents the final phase of a $2 billion fleet enhancement programme that has brought a consistent level of experiences from WaterWorks aqua parks, speciality dining, entertainment, enhanced accommodations and amenities to the more than five million passengers who annually sail with the line.
The refurbishment of Carnival Victory in 2020 will add the line's popular culinary, bar and entertainment innovations and complete an "any ship, any port, any itinerary" level of service and offerings across its fleet of 26 ships that is unparalleled in the cruise industry.
Following a 38-day dry dock in Cadiz, Carnival Radiance will enter service in 2020.
Homeport and itinerary details for the new Carnival Radiance will be announced in mid-November.
"We have been investing in our products, amenities and experience offerings at unprecedented levels, which are driving higher results in guest satisfaction, passenger yields and onboard revenue," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
"Our guests and travel agent partners can count on a high degree of consistency and quality holiday offerings across all our fleet and homeports regardless of what ship they're sailing on.
"Ultimately, this effort is about driving demand by giving each and every guest a memorable holiday and offering a reason to come back to Carnival again and again.
"And it's clearly working based on extremely positive feedback from the more than five million guests we carry each year."
Carnival launched its fleet enhancement programme in 2011.
Since that time, it has completed refurbishments to more than 20 ships, taken delivery of three new ships and has three additional ships scheduled for delivery through 2022.
Since the fleet enhancement programme was launched, Carnival's annual passenger count has grown from 4.1 million to 5.2 million guests; the number of children under 18 sailing annually has grown from 650,000 to 800,000; its employee base has grown from 34,000 to 40,000; its voyage operations have grown from 1,400 to 1,700 sailings per year; and its lower berth count has grown from 58,000 to 70,000.
As Carnival completes this phase of the capital investment and fleet expansion programme, it is focusing more intensely on providing a better onboard technology experience for guests.

Yay it's Friday!! Do you have any plans for the weekend? I think we are just going to stay around the house, do a little tidying up in the yard. I have to do some weeding. Isn't it funny that when nothing else will grow, weeds always seem to manage to thrive.
Today I am very excited to to show you a project I have finished. It has been sitting in my craft room waiting to be created for a couple of months, but I have always had something else needed to be done.
You know when you see something and you get butterflies in your stomach, well that's how I felt when I saw this kit created by the extremely talented Maxine Hazebroek and Audrey Underwood of Wednesdays Wishes. Their work is amazingly beautiful and I am always amazed at the stunning creations they make and so thankful that they have made them into kits. If you are looking for inspiration, look no further then their website it is full of beautiful things. So without further ado here is my Enchanted Angel (click on the photo to enlarge it)
Isn't she a beauty. She stands around 55cm tall and the photo doesn't show it very well, but she has lots of shimmery goodness on her. I just adore her. So do my two girls, which is why I have sat her happily on their bedroom drawers to watch over them. I really do love her. Thank you Audrey and Maxine! And thank you to my Mum and sister who I pestered to buy it for me as an early birthday present which isn't until next month (that is how badly I wanted her lol).
Also on the schedule for today is my Project 365 photo.
These are a couple of little bugs the girls and I created today. If you have little one's you may have seen the show Mister Maker on ABC. The girls and I love this show, and we often end up making the creations from it. These are the spoon bugs called stripey-dot and dotty-dot (named by the girls). Aren't they cute.
So that's Friday done.
I will be back tomorrow with another photo.
Until then
Friday, January 8, 2010
Isn't she lovely!!

we designed a re-usable and adaptable stand for the new district of aspern in vienna. the colors and materials used bearing reference to the place and the CI of aspern. We designed a curved main body which provides space for projections and also frames the "zak-tower" , an interactive 3-D projector. hidden storage space is integrated in the main body as well.
the free positioned bar is also used as the central info point. transparent displaywalls and stelas offer space for brochures and flyers. the lounge area with its comfy armchairs allow extended discussions and talks. the floating cylinder above the "zak-tower" is used as a projection surface and also marks the position of the booth.

Mooji's home and ashram in Portugal
Sahaja is not merely a physical place, Sahaja is your natural state. All beings come to rest here in the heart of hearts itself, it is your place. Welcome home!
Monte Sahaja is a living ashram, a haven for seekers of Truth drawn towards spiritual awakening. Sahaja is the home of Mooji and the spiritual home of the Sangha. The naturalness and profundity of Moojibaba's unconditional love and wisdom pervade the entire land, and Sahaja itself reflects this sacredness, purity and simplicity. Outwardly, it may appear like just another beautiful, peaceful place. However, the real magnificence of Sahaja is the opportunity to experience and receive a living Master's grace, presence and guidance in the inner work of awakening to our original nature.
Monte Sahaja is not a traditional ashram. For some people, it is more like a monastery; for others it is a retreat centre or a place of pilgrimage or a temple, but no word really defines what Monte Sahaja is. It doesn't fit into any classification. The word 'Sahaja' means the natural state of Being. Monte Sahaja is a sacred place dedicated to supporting true seekers who deeply aspire for liberation from the grip of ego identity. It is a rare place in this world as it is entirely dedicated to the complete realisation of the Self.
Mooji's lineage is Advaita, the ancient path of non-duality, which teaches that our true nature is one with the pure awareness that is the indivisible reality. Through his intuitive and direct approach, Moojibaba imparts this understanding as a living experience with great immediacy and accessibility to seekers of Truth. Awakening to our real nature does not mean we are to acquire something new, but rather that we must discover within ourselves that which is timelessly pure and in harmony with God. Therefore, there is no need to renounce one's family, worldly duties, ambitions, religion or any other human expression. It is this very universality, simplicity and naturalness which bring people from all over the world to sit with Moojibaba.
In Monte Sahaja, silence and inner focus is the prevailing climate regardless of the daily activities engaged in. Throughout a typical ashram day there is time and space for contemplation, silent sitting, chanting, guided meditations, and other group activities such as laughing yoga or bhajans may also be offered. Occasionally, scheduled and spontaneous Satsangs are offered by Moojibaba, and we all come together for this sacred time. Satsang is also imbibed through the vibrant and potent energy field that permeates all of Sahaja.
Sahaja Precepts
Living and working alongside Moojibaba in Monte Sahaja has given rise to the Sahaja Precepts and everyone in Sahaja is encouraged to abide by them as they are in full support of Satsang. 'Sahaja' refers to 'the natural state of being' and these precepts are an essential guidance for all who are in search of that which is the highest and most true within themselves.
Monte Sahaja is situated in the hilly region of Alentejo in southern Portugal. Its varied terrain offers many beautiful spaces to explore, such as small ponds, hidden paths and vistas, and quiet places for meditation and contemplation. There are some steep hills and valleys, which can feel quite demanding. However, many people experience an amazing increase in fitness in a relatively short span of time.
Springtime at Monte Sahaja is a glorious season where wildflowers flourish profusely over the savanna-like landscape. There are also many Olive trees, Cork Oaks, Medronhos, Carobs and Eucalyptus trees on the land and in the surrounding area. The fresh springtime breeze is often fragranced by an amazing palette of wild and traditional flowers and the smell of Eucalyptus trees. Moojibaba enjoys this time of the year very much.
During the summer months, Alentejo becomes very hot and the lush landscape of spring and early summer begins turning in colour to raw sienna and umber. Some say they are reminded of the African Serengeti or certain regions of Australia. Alentejanos are well used to the destructive wildfires that are easily started during the driest months. Monte Sahaja fully supports and complies with the local and regional efforts to keep fires to a minimum. We also endeavour to conserve water wherever we can.
With a growing number of people affected by COVID-19 worldwide, including outbreaks throughout Europe, we have closed Monte Sahaja for some time. This closing came into effect on 10 March, and means that we will not be offering the Guest and Extended Stay programs that were scheduled for March to May.
You can find the latest News, Resources, as well as Talks from Mooji on our COVID-19 page here.
We fully appreciate the natural urge to come to Monte Sahaja, the home and ashram of Moojibaba. It is possible for those who are deeply immersed in Satsang with Moojibaba and who have attended at least one retreat (physically) to apply to visit Monte Sahaja as part of one of our Ashram Programs.
Regardless of the type of visit, everyone must apply and receive confirmation from Monte Sahaja that it is possible to come. Monte Sahaja cannot accommodate drop-ins or casual visitors at any time.
If you wish to visit Monte Sahaja while staying in the surrounding area, you need to apply and receive confirmation before booking your accommodation.
Monte Sahaja offers several programs for those who have participated in a Retreat or Intensive with Moojibaba (physically) and have a deep resonance with his pointings. These programs include Guest Stays of 1-2 weeks, and Extended Programs of 2-3 months, all of which offer a profound opportunity to be immersed in the energy field of a living Ashram. Please know that it is required to have come for a Guest Stay before applying for an Extended Stay.
An overview of the different programs and events currently offered in 2020 can be found on our Schedule page.
There are several periods throughout the year where it is possible to stay at Monte Sahaja for 7-10 days. Guest Stays are ideal for those who wish to visit Sahaja to be immersed in Satsang and contemplation with a focus on the daily ashram program, which includes activities such as silent sittings, video satsangs, aarti, bhajans, laughing yoga and the Invitation.
When Guest Stays are available, it is essential to apply and receive confirmation that it is possible to come. Currently there are two Guest Stays scheduled, in May and September, 2020.
The extended programs at Monte Sahaja are a beautiful opportunity to deepen in Satsang while engaging in daily ashram activities and participating in the daily ashram program that supports genuine introspection. These extended programs are ideal for those who enjoy activity and wish to put into practice their contemplation in daily ashram life. This requires a reasonable amount of physical fitness and stamina.
The extended programs are for those who feel a deep resonance with Mooji's pointings, stayed in Monte Sahaja for at least a week (Eg. for a Guest Stay), and have attended a retreat or intensive with Moojibaba. The extended programs are offered seasonally, with 3 – 4 programs each year ranging from 2 – 3 months in duration. It is essential to apply and receive confirmation that it is possible to come.
Children at Monte Sahaja
While children are very much loved by Mooji and the Sangha, it is not possible to visit Monte Sahaja with children. Monte Sahaja is dedicated to self-discovery and we have found over the years that the atmosphere at Monte Sahaja is one of introspection and meditation and is not always suitable for children.
Some children who genuinely have a connection with Mooji, and are themselves naturally drawn to Satsang, may occasionally be able to visit under the supervision of their parents. This calling and wish to be in Satsang must genuinely come from the child. As with all visits to Sahaja, applications must be made in advance.

So what if everything we have seen, heard, read or know is misinformation?
What if we are living in a dream state and our dreams are actually reality..
Well if my dreams were true I'd be able to fly in helicopters, fight off lions with my bare hands and have sex with Angels… haha!
I think dreams are "potentials"…
I think they are excess thoughts that become junk because we do nothing with them; we don't act upon them, so they have to release themselves from our minds to unburden us with thoughts that we cannot produce anything with..
To create your life, the life you want, takes a heavy dose of imagination and creativity.. It requires that you feels things you have never get in your hands, to know things you have not experienced first hand..
It requires a vivid imagination and a high tolerance for pain..
You've got to risk it all for what you want. You've got to be SO O.K. with putting yourself on the line, with looking like you don't know what you are doing, with people not supporting you etc…
You want power.
I know I do.
And it was hard for me to admit that because it seemed like it had an immoral stain on it. Only evil people are powerful, right? But who told us that?
Who told us that a working man who barely gets to see his wife and kids is doing a more noble act than a man who would rather live on the street than be a slave for another man?
Morality is marketed to us, just like lipstick and StarBucks coffee…
It's all made up..
So now that you know this, and hopefully on a road to accepting it, which fears will you start to let go of? What doubts are you going to scratch off your little list of "Can't Do's" and "Never Gonna Happen"

By the time you're reading this, I will just have finished interviewing Ruby Wax for the magazine I edit. I can tell you right now that pre-interview I'm feeling pretty apprehensive. I've always liked Ruby. I think she's a hoot and a half. And I've been very impressed by her stance on depression. However, I've only had a few hours to prep, and I get the feeling that, as an accomplished interviewer herself, she'll not suffer an unprepared fool gladly. Hopefully I'm sorted though; and hopefully I'll get some good stuff that I'll post here in due course. Fingers crossed!

Hope it went well, Betsy. Sure it will have. Always fascinating, if sometimes a little daunting, to interview big names.
Look forward to reading the interview! Best of luck
Hope it went well. She is one of the most intelligent, humble, generous and frankly hysterical people I know xxx

In the ordinal of the Episcopal Church, if we can still call it an ordinal, there's an examination, witlessly called The Examination – you can find it on page 531 of the Book of Common Prayer. In the second paragraph, the ordaining bishop tells the about-to-be-ordained priest that he will be expected to proclaim the Gospel by word and deed, to fashion his life in accordance with the Faith, to minister to the people and celebrate the Sacraments, and then, at the very end, there's this mush phrase: "and to perform the other ministrations entrusted to you."
The other ministrations entrusted to you. I've been entrusted to some interesting ministrations over the years: digging graves, jumping into sinkholes, chasing roosters. Every priest at one time or another will fix a toilet or paint a wall. I haven't really minded any of these things, but it is only by the overflowing grace of God that I get past washing feet on Maundy Thursday.
But blessed John tells us that Jesus washed the feet of His disciples and commanded that they follow after His example, and since blessed John was there and we all take him at his word, well, feet will be washed.
"I give you a new commandment," Jesus told them that night and us this night, "Love one another as I have loved you." Jesus then gave examples, because people are not generally too bright and we might mistake kindness or niceness for love, real love. The washing of feet, the humble service expected of those who lead; the Covenant of life and love and everything we know to be holy and good, all wrapped up in the bread that becomes His Body and the wine that becomes His Blood; and then His final example, the laying down of His life for His friends, a greater love no one can know.
The Church, in her wisdom, knew that if we didn't follow in Christ's footsteps, if we didn't actually do the things He did on that first Holy Thursday, we might not get what He was talking about at all. And so here we go, first to the basin and then to the altar, that we also be of humble service, that we might lay ourselves down as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

GEM necklace
Price incl. 19% VAT - plus shipping costs
14 kt yellow gold.
The amulet's surface is special, what happened by coincidence while soldering, is kept as colorful surface. This design will be different at each jewelry piece. The colorfulness and additional oxidation will fade away with wearing the piece, what stays some day is the blank silver.
The pendant measures approx. 2.4 x 1.7 cm x 4.5 mm and is attached to a 2.7 mm strong venetian chain, that closes with a flat carabiner.The amulet's suspension is a 14 kt yellow gold hinge.
Oxidized silver:
A special kind of tincture is applied onto the silver, this causes an extreme oxidizing of the material. It is not harmful at all. Neither to your skin, nor to your clothing.
First black than anthracite, this effect will use off after wearing the piece, how fast depends on how you wear the jewel. We think though, this used-look just makes the jewel look even more charming, instead of being a loss of quality. Oxidizing the jewel again can be done at any time.

Comeback by Bradl
Finishing fourth in the Grand Prix of Aragon, Stefan Bradl equaled his best performance of the season in Texas in April. In Moto2, Rabat came a step closer to the world championship title.
The Races
While the practice test sessions were run under optimal conditions, the rain spoiled the day's racing at Aragon. After a Grand Prix MotoGP punctuated by numerous falls and during which the riders had to return to the pits to change bikes, Stefan Bradl took advantage of the situation to pass under the checkered flag in fourth position a second away from the podium. In Moto2, Tito Rabat further increased his overall lead in the standings by finishing second in a race unaffected by the rain while Mika Kallio, beset by grip problems, could not do better than taking seventh place. In Moto3, Miguel Oliveira also ranked seventh. Andrea and Jorge Navarro Migno both crashed out into the gravel on a track where many of the riders fell afoul of the wet patches.
The Championship
With his second place in Aragon, Tito Rabat now has a 33-point lead over teammate Mika Kallio in the overall standings. Viñales was relegated to 74 points despite his victory, such that the Marc VDS team may be almost certain of winning the world championship title in the next race at Motegi. In MotoGP Bradl has kept his nineth place, but the rider of the Honda LCR team is now only 5 points away from Andrea Iannone. In the Moto3 class, although he is still in ninth place, Miguel Oliveira now ties on points with Dany Kent. Migno and Navarro are now respectively placed twenty-fourth and twenty-eighth in the overall standings.
The Background
The news is now official. Jack Miller will make his debut next year in MotoGP, flying the flag of the Honda LCR team alongside Cal Crutchlow. Aged 19, the current leader of the Moto3 World Championship will have a Honda Open. For many, the transition from Moto3 to MotoGP is one hell of a bet. "I wouldn't have done it," even said Marc Marquez. "Moto2 allowed me to get my bearings with a heavier and more powerful bike before making another move up to MotoGP." With 200 more horsepower under him, the young Miller will have his work cut out. "But that doesn't scare me," he said. "If I didn't feel capable, I wouldn't have said yes to Honda. They're giving me time to learn, for me this is a long-term project." Lucio Cecchinello says he's excited by the new challenge. "We'll do everything we can to help him," assures the boss of the LCR team. "We have the people and the experience to do so. In 1998, Garry McCoy was very successful in moving up from the 125 Class to the 500 Class. Jack has the talent to do the same." For Christophe Bourguignon, the technical director of the LCR Honda team, it is the weight of the bike and its inertia during the braking, acceleration and change of direction that will require more time to adapt. "Of course MotoGP is a whole new world," admits Bourguignon. "Learning to manage carbon brakes, traction control, engine braking … Not to mention the wheelies that do not exist in Moto3. And of course the tires and how to use them. Everything is different, but I know our team will live up to their reputation and help him make his mark in his new challenge."

Amazing Grace
I'm not an artist, never have been, never will be. But I love to experiment, and would you believe, I have never given myself the freedom to try something just for the fun of doing it. So this is going to be my year for self-expression. If others like it, that's an added bonus, but if not, that's O.K. also.
The one thing that I do really want to focus on is to participate in Patter's Hymn challenge which you can find here. The first hymn is Amazing Grace. I know this is a favorite of almost everyone. Patter gave a link to a video of Wintley Phipps sharing about this song. I was so blessed by this, I just have to share it.
I used to do a lot of digital scrapbooking but not so much anymore. It's something I love to do and so I have decided to use this format for these challenges. I am also working on an altered composition book where I will do my journaling, which I will share later.
When I think of the grace of God and how much He has forgiven me, it makes me ashamed when I fail to extend this same grace to the people around me. They are dealing with the same human frailties that I am. My prayer is that I will be much more gracious and forgiving than I have been.
Wishing each and everyone a very blessed and Happy New Year!
Hugs, Sarah

Stunning page Sarah and inspiring words as well! {hugs}ReplyDelete
I am so glad you were blessed by the Wintley Phipps video! I was too, and I cry every time I watch him sing it! Just beautiful! I now have 2 of his albums after seeing that. An amazing man so gifted by the Lord! And your page is awesome! Love so many things about it especially how you did the title of the song. Just beautiful, and so glad to have you joining in. Blessings,ReplyDelete
Nice digital page. Thankyou for the thoughts you shared.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful digital page! Thank you so much for your sharing!...Nancy :o)ReplyDelete
Beautiful work, and your message reminded me of something I reflected on in another study I am doing. I thought about how I struggle with the words, "as we forgive those who trespass against us" is the part of the Lord's prayer that speaks of some of my own personal struggles. We do indeed need to extend the grace and forgiveness that God extends to us. This must have been a message I really needed this week. TFSReplyDelete
This is really beautiful - what an inspiration. Thanks for sharing this, it's really uplifting! I also wanted to let you know about another scripture challenge blog, and I would so love to have you stop by and play along in the challenges there as we seek to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ with our art. Have a great week, and hope to see you soon!ReplyDelete

It's pretty amazing to see how ahead of the game the writers have been on BREAKING BAD all this time. No one can truly predict where and what will be the final fate of Walter White will be. He is a lone man on a mythological journey…a man who near the end of his life (thanks to the disease cancer), he realizes in that moment he doesn't know who he is. He wants to be a provider for his children and his family. He doesn't want his cancer to strip the family dry of medical bills before his death. So he does the one thing nobody could ever dream doing: He uses his chemistry talents and goes into the meth business, producing the most perfect purification of meth that anyone on the market has ever seen. He's a brilliant man. But he's also haunted by his previous lost enterprise. When his chance to be a partner and run a multibillion dollar organization goes down the drain, because he sold his share too soon to pay off a few months rent, it was survival that ruined his chance at success. And yet in the end, survival is what he's been stuck with. There has been no peace for him, and the path he's ultimately chosen in his meth world is full of strife and consequence. Bodies have piled up all around Walter White, and yet his partner "survival" is always there to bail him out. If this were Dexter, survival would be Walt's dark passenger. Every single time he has done something awful, he still manages to get out, despite the lives that he's ruined. There is always a sign…a signal of some sort hanging like a piece of meat that tells Walt he can get out of a situation, and Walt always takes the out.
So the big question is, will Walt face down the consequences of his actions? Dexter went into hiding. Walt went into hiding too, and you know what? It broke him. The phone call to Junior signaled it, and the announcement on the television by his former associates that this was the death of Walter White. At least in Walt's mind he's dead. We saw in the last shot of the last episode he was in the heat of the moment, about to do something we know may be ultimately dangerous and his undoing. Which part of Walt died in that moment? If I had to guess, it's his need for survival. The one thing that started it all. The one thing that ruined his chance at a successful normal life. When he was a man on the run, survival was all he had left and all he was faced with in that cabin. For months. Whatever Walts decision is now, he's about to face it head on.
Is he going to go after the Schwartz's for leading him to quit the business? I don't think that's the case. Is he going to face up to his crimes? I don't think that's the case either. He's not someone to let everything he worked for go to nothing. He's become fully consumed by the dark. The one thing that's left to clue us in is that vile of risen. Who is it ultimately going to be used on? Who is he going to go after or wants to go after most? It's not going to be himself, because he's already dead to everyone.
As Walt faces his destiny we can only begin to wonder how it's going to end. The thing we are certain of is that the end is not going to be pretty. It's going to be dark and gruesome, and possibly costing the lives of everyone involved, until there's no one left except Walt…a man who will have lost everything to gain an empire…or what's left of one. He may be on the verge of secretly reclaiming all that he lost. He is setting the ground work for something new to build on all that's come before him. I have a feeling with Walt in the Finale, we're going to see a long look into his future, and what his true destiny is that awaits him. He may as well operate his new empire from another country. It's possible that's what will happen. But he will be alone. Without his family, and without the people who once loved him. Walt is letting go of everything and starting over again. But he's going to take a lone vigilante stance. He wants people to think that he's dead so he can take his place as the new king of meth. He's going to face whats been waiting for him all along. He'll fake his death, and he's going to run a multi-trillion dollar meth empire. He's going to be the underground lord of meth. He's going to get everything he ever wanted for himself and never realize that he's alone. His son or Jesse will probably kill Walt for all the things he's done. Somebody close will come after him. That will be the end of Walt. Except Walt is already dead. It won't matter to anyone anymore. Or he'll be taken out in the most pitiful way possible. Nobody knows for certain.
I love this show. I just completely pulled that prediction out of my ass. I'm not going to count on it being right, but hey, that's the fun of stuff like this. Breaking Bad, when its all over you will be missed. I'm glad I caught up with it when I did.

"Where organic and synthetic meet to stimulate an uplifting club sensation"
SOPHIE and A.G. Cook (PC Music) have joined forces to produce "Hey QT", the debut single by singer QT. You can listen to it below, via XL.
There's an air of mystery around QT, who's pictured above and described in the following statement:
So what, or who, is QT? She's a sparkling future pop sensation - albeit one who is set to warp and stretch the notion of what a pop star actually is. It's a drink, or more precisely a brand new Energy Elixir ("where organic and synthetic meet to stimulate an uplifting club sensation"). And it's a song, a moment – "Hey QT" - which sees these two producers pushing their sound to its very extreme and creating a future anthem in the process.
You can "experience" the Energy Elixir right here.

Candidates Ivy Taylor and Leticia Van de Putte headed to historic runoff
San Antonio will make history on June 13, regardless of whether voters ultimately pick Leticia Van de Putte or Ivy Taylor to be mayor.
This city has never before elected either a Latina or a black mayor. Taylor was appointed last summer to complete the remainder of Mayor Julián Castro's term after he became President Barack Obama's secretary for the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department.
Wasting no time restarting their campaigns Sunday, the two women will face each other in a June 13 runoff election. They both started their days by attending church and then celebrating Mother's Day.
Get all of mySA's political coverage here.
"Conventional wisdom said we would not be here but this election is about turning a page, it's about San Antonio not wanting politics as usual," Taylor said. "We're going to hit the ground running after Mother's Day, because we can't rest on our laurels."
Van de Putte said she was moved by her supporters, the volunteers who worked her campaign every day.
"I am going to ask them for help for another four weeks so we can get to Election Day with a victory," Van de Putte said.
Van de Putte and Taylor emerged Saturday from a crowded field of 14 candidates that included former Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson and former state Rep. Mike Villarreal, who campaigned for nearly a year, gave up his statehouse seat and spent nearly $200,000 of his own money on his failed bid.
The former state senator earned the most votes — 25,982, or 30.43 percent — while Taylor trailed by 1,737. She garnered 24,245 votes, or 28.4 percent. Villarreal finished in third with 26 percent of the overall vote while Adkisson picked up almost 10 percent.
The mayoral contest isn't the only prizefight on the June 13 card.
Embattled District 7 Councilman Cris Medina, facing four challengers, fell short of a majority of the vote at 47 percent. Second-place finisher Mari Aguirre-Rodriguez, with 28 percent, will try to unseat Medina in a runoff election. She held the council seat for two months last year when she was appointed to fill in for Medina while he was on military leave and came away from the experience convinced there was a "leadership vacuum" in District 7.
The other nine council members all won re-election outright, many by landslides.
Voters also re-approved in staggering numbers sales tax propositions for aquifer protection and linear parks while also passing an amendment that would require a public vote on rail projects. Council members will also begin receiving salaries, voters decided.
Since February, mayoral candidates participated in nearly 50 forums, and many of the same sponsoring groups have offered to conduct another round for the runoff. Among them is the San Antonio Express-News, which along the University of Texas at San Antonio and Time Warner Cable, will host a televised forum on May 28.

If you've been thinking of journeying to the enchanting land of Sri Lanka, get ready to soak in the goodness and warmth the island has to offer. Whether you plan to visit the South-Western Province or Northern Province of the country, one thing is for sure that you will have to halt at Colombo at the beginning and end of your holiday.
Most travelers often give Colombo amiss in their itinerary as they find very little to do there. Well, this is a misconception!
Colombo is the commercial capital of Sri Lanka and the largest city by population (5.6 million). Initially, the city was known as 'Kolon Thota' meaning 'port'. Under the colonial rule, it came to be known as Colombo.
Situated on the western coast, Colombo is the most beautiful city in the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. It is a potpourri of races, religions, cultures and rich colonial heritage.
From the warm hospitality to the ever-welcoming people, enchanting temples and charming weather, this city will truly engulf you. Being a large cosmopolitan city, it has changed immensely in the last couple of years.

Back in the 5th century, Colombo actually served as a seaport town. It was often seen as the perfect location for trade between Asia and Europe. Ever since then, it has had Arab, Portuguese, and Dutch settlers calling the island their home.
For long, Colombo was under-developed. However today, the city is experiencing a boom of towering skyscrapers, new roads and infrastructure, several posh hotels, shopping complexes, lush gardens, fine dining options, mansions, expensive designer brands, and rocking nightlife.
The rapidly changing skyline of Colombo is an eclectic mix of old and new. It's simply amazing to see colonial buildings and ruins from the time when it was the capital of the British Ceylon on one side and modern life and swanky architecture on the other.
If you are looking for a perfect holiday in an oasis of calm amidst the madness, Colombo has to be on your bucket list. If you're wondering what you should do, where you should stay, we have all your questions answered.
Warning: You'll be tempted to book a ticket to Colombo after reading this.
Watch this really nice video about Colombo City
Getting There
Colombo is a busy and vibrant city divided into 13 districts, with Colombo 1 or Fort Area being the center of the city. There are numerous air carriers from India and other parts of Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and the United States flying every day.
Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) is the only international airport in Sri Lanka and is located in Katunayake, about an hour's drive away from Colombo.
SriLankan Airlines is the flag carrier of Sri Lanka and has its operations around the world. If you want to visit Colombo, it is the ideal airline choice. Depending on where you are coming from, the flight ticket fare will vary.
Once you get to Colombo, you can use rail and road to visit other parts of the island (Hikkaduwa, Mirrisa, Galle, Matara, Nuwara Eliya, etc.).
Securing a travel permit or visa is extremely simple when visiting Sri Lanka. Travelers can apply for a tourist visa to enter Sri Lanka for sightseeing, excursions or to visit relatives for a short period of time.
The Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) can be secured on the website. The visa fee is $30 for most countries and for SAARC countries it is $15. If you are coming from Maldives or Singapore, it is free of cost. The Visa application process is quite simple and can be done quickly unlike other countries where securing a visa or permit is fairly difficult.
You can also obtain a visa on arrival at BIA for $5 but having an ETA visa means a quicker exit from the immigration process.
Learn more about Sri Lankan visa services.
Best time to visit
Colombo is a year-round destination and can be visited at any time of the year. It seriously has those 'big cities' feels. From January to April, Colombo is mostly sunny. Most tourists are seen flocking to the city during this time.
The month of May marks the onset of the monsoon. June to September is the wettest months. This is also off season in Sri Lanka. If you do plan to visit during this time, you will get good deals on hotels and flights.
During November and December, the number of tourists visiting increases as the weather begins to get hot and humid. We would suggest this as the best time to visit as the weather in the neighboring beach towns will be great too. It's the perfect time to soak in the sun and indulge in water sports.
Also Read: 5 Coffee Shops in Colombo that Make a Mean Cup of Coffee
Colombo is the most ethnically mixed place in Sri Lanka. You will predominantly find people practising Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam.
As far as languages are concerned, Sinhala and Tamil are the two official languages of Colombo. 70 per cent of Sri Lanka's population speaks Sinhala. As a tourist, you can easily get your way around in the city if you know English. All the public transport drivers and managers in upmarket hotels and restaurants speak English.
Despite the Muslim community being a minority in Colombo, there are a handful of people that speak Urdu too.
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is a floating currency, which means the exchange rate is determined by market forces. The currencies accepted throughout the island include Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) and U.S Dollar.
Where to Check-in?
Being a developed city, Colombo offers abode options for every kind of traveler. Whether you are traveling with family, your spouse or solo, you'll find numerous hotels, resorts, guest houses, Air B&BS and hostels to check-in. The kind of accommodation you choose solely depends on what you want to do in Colombo.
If waking up to scenic views, blue waters and sunrise is on your list, you'll have to choose to stay in property around Galle Face Green. It is 12 acres ocean-side urban park which stretches for 500m along the coast, in the heart of Colombo.
We would suggest Galle Face Hotel, Hilton Colombo, Taj Samudra, The Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand Colombo. These are few luxury hotels in Colombo that offer a comfortable stay, good food, and views that are second-to-none. If you want to experience the beauty of the city at its best, you will have to shell out a little. A night's stay for two at each of these hotels will be $143, $122, $165, $155 and $160 respectively.
If you are traveling to Colombo on a budget and want to check-in at a hotel that offers a comfortable stay inclusive of a good breakfast spread, we would recommend Fairview Hotel, Fairway, Hotel Galadari, and Best Western Elyon. A night's stay for two at any of these hotels should cost anywhere between $50 and $80.
Airport and city transfers are an important part of a holiday. While you'll easily find tuk-tuks and taxis in Colombo, we would recommend booking your transfers on http://taxigo.lk/estimate.htm. An airport transfer from BIA to the center of the city costs $12. Besides this, Uber and Pick Me are leading cab-aggregators that operate here.
Things to do/Places to Visit
Talking about the tourist attractions in Colombo, there's so much to see and do. Whether you want to gaze at ancient monuments or watch the best sunset of your life, Colombo will definitely spoil you with choice. Here are the top places to visit in Colombo:
- Gangaramaya Temple: If ancient art and architecture fascinates you, you have to visit this enchanting temple. You'll find several Buddha statues in stone, white plastic, and gold. The 120-year-old temple is located across two sites. The floating temple displays beautiful Buddhist statues while the larger one offers a vast prayer and meditation sanctuary and an intriguing museum. The temple levies no entrance fee.
- National Museum: The National Museum was built in 1876 and founded by the British Governor of Sri Lanka at that time. Inside the museum, you'll find statues and exhibits telling the story of ancient Sri Lanka. You'll also find carvings, swords, guns, and masks that belong to British Ceylon. The museum is surrounded by a lush, green park.
- Visit a Casino: Colombo is a paradise for gamblers. The four best casinos in Colombo are Bally's, Bellagio, MGM Colombo, and Marina Colombo. Since Bally's is located right in the heart of the city, it is extremely popular with tourists. All the casinos are open 24/7 every day of the week. You can start playing with just $1 at joints like Bally's. That's not all. You get to taste some lip-smacking dishes from around the world while you try your luck.
- Shopping: Shopping in Colombo is always fun. You'll find swanky shopping malls and complexes filled with designer clothing, shoes and handbags, home furnishing, handicrafts and more. The best places to shop include Odel, Cottons, Arcade Independence Square, Colombo City Centre and Paradise Road. If you are looking to buy handicrafts and souvenirs for friends and family, we would recommend visiting Laksala. Designer Barbara Sansoni's store Barefoot is also extremely popular with tourists. From bright hand-loomed textiles to attractive home furnishings, you'll find it all. They also have a little eatery in the same villa where their store is located.
- Galle Face Green: Galle Face Green is a bustling, oceanside park located in the heart of the city. It is surrounded by landmark buildings such as the former parliament, the iconic Galle Face Hotel and the skyline of new high-rises. You'll find people flying kites while they wait for the perfect sunset. At the same time, you will find street food vendors setting up their food stalls.
- Old Dutch Hospital: As the name suggests this is the site of a Dutch Era hospital said to have existed since 1681. It is not a hospital but instead a building that houses the city's renowned watering holes and restaurants. One of the world's top 50 restaurants – Ministry of Crab is also located here.
- Pettah: There's nothing fancy about Pettah, however, it is the heartbeat of the city. It is a chaotic hub where locals head to find bargains for spices, fabrics, and electronics. You'll also find the best samosa and Kottu (Sri Lankan street food) in Pettah Market.
Wine & Dine
The wining and dining scene in Colombo is something you will thoroughly enjoy. It also has a buzzing nightlife with several chilled-out bars, pubs, and casinos. Whether you want to grab a beer with a friend, enjoy a lavish sit-down dinner with family or grab some Kottu from the street vendors, brace yourself because Colombo is definitely a foodie's paradise.
Besides the local Sri Lankan cuisine, there are restaurants that serve international cuisines as well including Italian, Thai, Asian, Indian and Continental. Also, if you are a vegetarian visiting Sri Lanka, do not worry because of every restaurant dishes out meatless options as well.
Read this if you are looking to eat lip-smacking Sri Lankan food in Colombo. From Kaema Sutra and Curry Leaf to Upali's and Pilawoos, this list has you fully covered.
Off late, there is also plenty of coffee shops springing up in the city. We've already talked about the 5 best coffee shops in Colombo.
Colombo also offers the best street food in Sri Lanka.
Apart from Sri Lankan food, if you want to indulge in any other fare, we would recommend the following:
- Italian: The Gallery Café, The Bayleaf, IL Ponte, Park Street Trattoria and Giovanni's.
- Asian: Noodles, Nara Thai, Spice Coast, and Thai Cuisine Boulevard
- Indian: Indian Summer Restaurant, Maharaja Palace, The Saffron Lounge, Shanmugas and North Indian by Mango Tree.

A team were 'on the run, from the law' recently after taking part in an extreme endurance race to raise money for a worthy cause.
The 10 staff from Higgs & Sons raised almost £1400 for the firm's chosen charity, the Alzheimer's Society by taking part in the Wolf Run at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire.
"Wolf Run stands for Woods, Obstacles, Lakes and Fields and after having run 10km through mud, freezing cold water and various obstacles on a cold, rainy November morning, you can see why they call it 'extreme," comments Kirsty McEwen who heads the firm's charity and not for profit team.
"It was tough at times, but we all stuck together and helped each other through. It was a great team effort and we all thoroughly enjoyed it - so much so that we're already planning our next run."
The 10 runners who raised the money through sponsorships were from various departments including private client, IT and corporate communications. Natalie Marsden who helped organise the 'Higgs Wolf Pack' is a trainee at the Midlands based firm
Tim Jones who heads the firm's Corporate Social Responsibility programme was thrilled that the team's efforts had helped to raise such an incredible sum
"Each year we select a charity of the year for which we undertake several fundraising activities. This year we worked with the Alzheimer's Society, organising football tournaments, quizzes, even winning a national choir competition along the way
"The Wolf Run was another example of how Higgs' staff are always ready to face a challenge in order to support our fundraising activities. We have an excellent team here at Higgs who do more and more each year to help raise much needed funds for worthy causes around the region.
Further information on Higgs' Wolf Pack's charitable efforts can be found at: https://www.justgiving.com/higgs-wolf-run/
