Prayer for Good Friday

Oh my Lord, my Saviour, my King, what words can express the tragic glory of your passion, which we remember today? You came down from heaven, Lord, you lived a blameless and sinless life, and then you died in agony, oh God, in order that I might be forgiven; such a precious gift that I… Continue reading

Shaking with Ratu

On my hands and knees, leaning over a small plastic bucket, I am vomiting violently. The blare of fast-paced music and the wailing and yelping of those shaking their bodies behind me provide the soundtrack to my convulsions.
