One of those conversations...

Another humorous moment at the mass.

me: So, 'Lamb of God' is Jesus.
em: Ya!
me: So, in (the song) 'Mary had a little lamb', it's actually referring to Jesus. So, it's true.
em: Hmm, ya hor. I've never thought of it that way.
me: But do you know what happened to the lamb in the song?
em: No...
me: It went to school with Mary, between two slices of bread.
em: ???

I think in the past one year of my attending mass with Emman, he has learnt so much more about God and the ways of God, and of course, Jesus, than he ever had in his life.

That's what happens when people get 'born' into a religion and practise it without reflecting and understanding the profound meaning behind their practice. Religion is only a set of doctrines when you cannot apply it to your daily life. Spirituality is when you can.

Amen. Thanks be to me.
