There's something really special about Holy Thursday. This is the night, the Lord's Supper that the Holy Eucharist was initiated. Following Mass we had adoration. It was so beautiful. My heart was so joyful to see the faith of others flocking to adore the Lord in the Eucharist. I was touched by seeing people kneeling on the wooden floor, gathering around Our Lord. At times there were Taize chants and other times just stillness, silence. It was really special. I even had the idea to have a Sunday night adoration following our 7pm Mass once a month. I sure hope our priest is interested. My priest said we could do it on the Feast of Corpus Christi. But I want to encourage him for once a month. It would be awesome if it was the start of such an occurence on Corpus Christi. Why don't you ask your priest if he would be willing to have adoration at least once a month. I go weekly and I know not everyone can do so. Let's put more time into such a beautiful devotion as adoring Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
God bless

Will be Featured on NZTalk ZB Radio
As of today I'm delighted to confirm that I will be speaking on Easter Sunday at 6am and if there are a lot of talkback calls then the radio station will call me back for Easter Monday. This is a huge opportunity to evangelise New Zealand as NZTalk ZB covers the length of our country. I've been trying for a few years to be included in the Good Friday radio broadcasting - that is, to be interviewed on subjects relating to the existence of God. Last Friday I spoke to a producer who said that he didn't think I was dynamic enough to go on their Good Friday show. But they would like to trial me on Easter Sunday.
Wow! Is all I can say after today! I had a great session with my Philosophy Tutor who gave me some tips and advice. Then I had an awesome meeting with the Radio Host. I'm still buzzing! It's so encouraging to be able to say certain things that made even him as a Christian stop and think. He never knew that the Catholic Church is against IVF because 1) it is unnatural and separate from the wonderful unitive sexual act 2) Because of the willful destruction of human embryos which equals human life. When I told him about my next book being Crusades Rediscovered: In the Light of Human Sexuality and Our Creator" his response was "WOW!" He said a lot of atheists will come out of hiding and will call in on Sunday. I said, "Bring it on!" lol. The wonderful thing is that I don't have to go in until 5.45am so I guess it will start airing at 6am. I was a bit worried it was going to start at 5am. There could be 30,000 listeners. The more listeners and callers means I can be invited back on Easter Monday to repeat it. So there is huge potential to reach out and touch hearts. I want to have the maximum impact for the Glory of God. Please pray that people will open their hearts.
