Third Week @ ND

One of the many symbols in the Catholic church that I love is the fountain of holy water present when we first walk into the church. It's there to remind us of our Baptismal vows, after all, we first enter the church through baptism! The picture to the left is a view from the level of the fountain of the rest of the church. I've learnt a lot about baptism and it's importance this past week. Jesus yearned for His baptism. He didn't begin His ministry before He was baptized because in His human weakness, He needed the Holy Spirit. And so do I...

I CAN'T WAIT!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D !

And a view from the back of the Tabernacle, looking out into the pews. You know, during mass Mother Mary and all the angels and saints are present... some of us are gifted to see them, some of us have strong imaginations and can picture it...and then there are others who can see see them in the paintings on the ceiling, walls, windows... everywhere in the Basilica! It's incredible.

This week was quite special. I witnessed my Hindu friend pray in this Basilica in front of a crucifix. How beautiful is that? Our God is a great God, a God of all who hears all who cry out to Him.

Now for a musical interlude...

How great is our God?
Sing with me,
How great is our God?
And all will see
How great,
How great is our God!

Gotta love Christ Tomlin and most of all, Jesus!! :D


WORK TINGZ:

I couldn't fix the orientation of this picture on the left. So bare with me and turn your head 90 degrees left :) It's the leaning tower of Pisa! Hehe
And to the right is a home made piece of glassware creatively constructed by our own glass blowers in the RadLab. They get into it sometimes! Personally, I think all glassware should be designed like this! Then when an experiment is going wrong, we can be cheered up! :D

INTRODUCINGGGGGGG.............Hesburg library! Aka "Touch Down Jesus" - because he can be viewed from the upper parts of the football stadium haha! This mural is really something else. A treasure for sure! It is also an amazing library... tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of books (I know right, how unfitting for a library! :P hah). But seriously, Mills + Thode + HSL look puny compared to this baby!

I regret to announce that I have no picture of a squirrel for this week. However, I did see a squirrel walking behind an oblivious student for at least 3 metres (no feet for me! sorry America!)

That is all :)
