Paul

May 3, 2018

The Food For Faith team invite you to a private screening of the recently released biblical drama Paul, Apostle of Christ.

This significant and inspiring movie was released in the US a few weeks ago but is not being shown publicly in New Zealand.

The Food For Faith private screening is on Sunday 3 June, 6.00pm at Hoyts in Riccarton, Christchurch.

If any money is raised this will go to the mission of the St. Vincent de Paul society in Christchurch.

Tickets are only available online at the link below. Invite friends and share this invitation with others. Ticket numbers are limited so book early. Note: purchase of a ticket guarantees a seat but seating positions will be allocated on arrival at theatre.

“The story covers Paul
going from the most infamous persecutor of Christians
to Jesus Christ’s most influential apostle.”

    Fr John is there anyway we can get a showing in the far north? E.g. Whangarei. I’ve been waiting for it to hit NZ since March when it was announced that it would be released at Easter in the US, but have heard nothing till now .

      All it needs is for some to arrange a screening with a local theatre. Give them a call to see if this is possible in Whangarei.

    Great Movie giving another interpretation on St Paul. The parishes of All Saints by the Sea (Papamoa Coast) & Tauranga Moana gathered to see the movie last night 140 people gathered. Its a pity that general viewing is available, it worth the effort to organise as John has a private viewing

Bible questions still pop up regularly in quiz shows and they often cost otherwise sharp players much needed points.
I’m ready for a question asking for the two names for the last book of the Bible. The book often known as Apocalypse is perhaps more often referred to as the Book of Revelation.
It’s common (thanks to movies) to think of an apocalypse as a devastating and unwelcome time of destruction.

The pics I use on these daily posts are sometimes snapped by me, and often borrowed from free-use websites. I thought it might be interesting to move towards using only my own snaps, and then only those taken in the past 24 hours. We’ll see how I go.
I took the pic above yesterday morning on an early walk.

Perhaps we find the miracles of Jesus too difficult to understand. How can we cope with what we may not have seen with our own eyes?
Many people cope with the miraculous by reducing it to what they can understand. They say Jesus just increased the blind man’s psychological vision, or opened his eyes of faith rather than actually giving him physical sight.

Over the years I have celebrated hundreds of funerals, many well prepared with family and friends gathering to celebrate the life of the one they love. There are efficient funeral directors, beautiful flowers, glossy brochures, photographs and video presentations, eulogies and even artificial grass and sterilised sand at the graveside.

Patrick’s day

Patrick’s day

Most people who celebrate on St. Patrick’s day today think of wearing green and enjoying good Irish music, Guinness and perhaps dancing at an Irish pub. But it’s easy to forget that Patrick was a robust disciple of Jesus Christ who brought the Good News of the ultimate and eternal liberation through Jesus Christ to the people of Ireland.
