Hey peeps... Hope everyone is doing okay. Jeremy here by the way.
I left Malaysia 2 Saturdays ago (as some of u would know).. Settling in here has been a little rough. Tasmania doesn't get many twinning/bridging students, so the basically don't really bother that much about us. I've only gone for classes for 2 days so far since i got here.. which isn't a good record i guess... but i think with all the things to get done so that i can live properly.. it aint to bad i guess..
Went to St Joseph's church the past weekend. One thing I will say is that... the average age of the people in the church was about...... 60 i think? Not many young people go to church over here i guess... The mass here was pretty simply too.. No choir.. No singing at all actually. Was a little disappointed with that... but... I guess it was a challenge to appreciate Mass all the more. Without the music & singing... it was pretty hard for me.. wonder if you guys would find it the same...
I suppose this relates to the song, "Heart Of Worship" which some of us know why it was written. It is something to think about, really... Taking away all the music and celebrating Mass as simply as possible... Would you feel the same?
St Joseph's.. Well.. part of it anyway.
This picture of the alter isn't really that great. The interior of the church is really quite beautiful. Will try and get better pictures next time =)
p.s. Hope the retreat works out fine.
