And express a dash of sorrow
Marinate it overnight
And work on it tomorrow

By doing a good deed cut in and help your friend.

HOLY TRINITY
The doctrine of the blessed Trinity , three person in One God,equal in divinity yet distinct in personality , is not in the bible. The doctrine of the inner relationship of the Father, the Son and Holyspirt in such a way that each of them is fully and equally God, yet there are not three Gods but one, cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind. It is mystery.
But early Christians arrived at the doctrine when they applied their God given reason to the revelation which they had received in faith. Jesus spoke about the Father who sent him and about the Holy spirt whom he was going to send. He said that the Father had given him all that he has and that he in turn has given to the holy spirt all that he has recived from the Father. In thi we see the unity of purpose among the three persons of the trinity, hi the story of salvation we usually attribute creation

Reflection
The popular saying is that,'' Out 0f sight out of mind'' but sometimes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. In that way, Ascension is not to be understood as departure of Jesus but ascension is to show as who we are, where we are going, and what we must do now.
It attracted the congregation to see their Rabbi disappear each week, on the eve of the Sabbath. They suspected that he was secretly meeting the Almighty God. So they appointed a spy to follow him. The spy saw that the Rabbi dressed himself in simple clothes and served a paralyzed Gentle woman in her hut, cleaning out the room and preparing a Sabbath meal for her. When the spy got back, the congregation asked him,'' Where did Rabbi go? Did he ascend to heaven?'' No the man replied. ‘He went even higher'. Therefore, the church is like an elevator which takes us to God. Today we celebrate the feast of Ascension; it is the feast of hope. It is the hope that if we carry on the mission of Jesus Christ, serving the poor and the needy, we will pave the way for the new world promised by Jesus Christ.
Tuesday, June 21, 2011a boy who has reached marriage age is full of ambition and hope, and dreams of happy years ahead with his wife and children; but he is also preoccupied by what the future may have for him. While he lived with his parents, he was untroubled; they look after everything and resolve all his problems. But once he is married, he will have to shoulder all his responsibilities for himself. This is the situation the apostles found themselves during the ascension. When Jesus was present, they just followed his lead; but now they suddenly found themselves alone and facing what seemed an impossible mission.

East Africa faces 'world's worst food security crisis'The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fewsnet) said areas of particular concern were in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. It said large-scale emergency assistance was urgently needed "to save lives and treat acute malnutrition" in the region. It also stressed that the current humanitarian response was "inadequate". In a statement, Fewsnet said the eastern Horn of Africa "has experienced two consecutive seasons of significantly below-average rainfall, resulting in one of the driest years since 1995". It said that crops had failed and local cereal prices remained very high. "This is the most severe food security emergency in the world today," the statement said. In southern Ethiopia and some pastoral areas of Somalia, the agency said, "poor households are unable to access the basic food supplies needed for survival". Fewsnet also said that recent nutrition surveys suggested that global acute malnutrition remained above 20% in the region, and more than seven million people needed humanitarian assistance.The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fewsnet) said areas of particular concern were in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

Q&A: Why food prices and fuel costs are going upQ&A: Why food prices and fuel costs are going up Food prices around the world have been rising sharply and Oxfam has warned that the trend will continue over the next 20 years. With floods hitting farmland in places such as Australia, which exports its wheat and sugar cane around the world, there are fears that food prices could continue to rise. In February, the wholesale cost of food hit its highest monthly figure on record, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Food prices remain higher than their peak in 2008, when food crisis prompted riots and demonstrations around the world. What's more, oil prices have also edged up this year, reaching their highest level in two years.

Food prices set to stay high, says UN food agencyGlobal food prices will remain high and volatile throughout this year and into next despite record food production. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) twice yearly Food Outlook analysis says rising demand will absorb most of the higher output. It says its index of food prices in May was at 232, only six points below February's record high of 237. The FAO says higher food prices could mean poor countries will see food import costs rise by up to 30%. That would mean them spending 18% of their total import bills on food this year, compared with the world average of 7%. The organisation says the next few months will be critical in determining how major crops will fare this year.Global food prices will remain high and volatile throughout this year and into next despite record food production.
