Feast of Transfiguration. Always love it. So we took the bus an hour and a half beforehand to St. Francis Xavier Church. Got caught in the worst jam i've ever been in. Welcome to Kl;)
Mass was to begin at 8pm. So at 730pm, we ran down the bus and decided to walk the way. Which happened to be a really long way.
We arrived at the bus station for transit at 755pm! And the bus left for the Federal Highway only at 815pm.
We reached the church at 820pm.
Great.
We figured the most we'd be in time for was the Gospel reading or Homily.
And sure, when we arrived, the congregation was already standing up.
Hah, but for Kyrie and not the Gospel!
Guess the Big Guy Up There waited for us.
It was Fr. Larry and this is what struck me..no, smacked me so hard in his Homily.
Something along these lines which reflect the Transfiguration as well;
"We encountered the Divine which is already within us somewhere in the past and we feel so high about that. And now we keep craving for such an experience, when God is there in the very ordinary. In the joy and sadness of our everyday lives. But we keep craving and craving for something bigger that we do not see that those are the moments that He is nearest to us. The fact is there is no dividing line between the spiritual and the secular life."
Yep. Which always brings me back to the people around me and the people back home:)

Well, this is to old wine and new wine, both of which are slowly to be savoured over the coming years years.
And to the amazing God of all things ordinary. Have a great ordinary week ahead fellas.
