Carry The Cross

The 'Pigeon' Walked One round

I Am The Alpha and Omega
It was about 3.30pm when I took this photographs of the special bird. On first look, it looked like the coo-coo bird, the peaceful dove. However, at closer look, it was not, it looked like John, but it was not John. It was First Time I saw such pigeon and it was so amazing. It walked one round on top the roof there.

Rain Or Shine, Walk In Faith
On this day, it was raining the whole day. But I told the family that rain or no rain, have to go church today as it was a special day -- Special Mass offering for Cebest and the rest of the souls. But about this time, the rain started to subside.



Church of St Anthony of Padua

As mentioned, it was Cebest's 2nd death anniversary -- my best friend, my loyal friend. Made Mass Offering on 5th June 2008, as well as Saturday 7th June 2008.

Parallels of Life
On this day, 7th June 2008, we left home, cycled to the church as usual. On this day, construction/upgrading jobs were being carried out at my neighbourhood. There was the big crane (machine), so big, looked so scary. My niece and nephew were always scared of these crane when they were babies. They always thought these cranes were 'monsters' and they thought they were 'giraffe'.

Flock of Cranes - Amazing Grace
On the way to church, I saw the most amazing scene. Birds were flying at the traffic lights. At the junction between Causeway Point and Woodlands stadium, there were most amazing, amazing sight -- a flock of cranes! At first I saw a white and yellow bosom crane flying above me, within the next moment, it was a flock, a big flock of cranes flying across, that was the First Time I saw so many beautiful cranes!!!! Real beauty, and yet I was the only one who seem like 'mountain tortoise', exclaiming and filled with awe at such a scene...


Totally Black Butterfly flew into the church on 7th June 2008, 6pm mass. I told my father and he said, the spirits came to thank me.

'I Am The Resurrection and The Life'
At the church on this day, the priest was Father Terence. He wore green vestment, symbolizing hope and life. During and towards the end of the Gospel reading, while Fr Terence was still talking about the word of God, a black butterfly flew from my right side and in front of me at my front pew and up to the 'suncatcher' glass walls on the side of the church as shown below -- the black dot is the site where the black butterfly stationed for quite some time. It was the 'third station'.

Carry The Cross
That is the third station, written above. The number three means 'life' in cantonese. The butterfly and the special dove I saw on this day signify the existence of holy spirit and communication. I believe it means I am a disciple of Jesus and I need to carry the cross... and I am very glad to carry the cross, and I am very proud to be a Catholic, the only real and true God in this world.
