For those of you who'll look this up:
Fr. Robins alive and kicking as of this date.
There will be another camp (if life permits..!!)
I'met Fr. Robin this lent, when he gave a crisp lesson on books to read and study to a flock of believers who came to church one fine Wednesday to get their daily dose of the Bible post mass. However, little did they know they they'd have to do their homework instead!
Fr. Robin nicely sliced the Bible in half with a few books to be studied (actually studied) and a few books to be read (casual reading) leaving all the attendees with a song on their lips & question in their minds "what went wrong?", "where is that blinking sermon?" But well Fr. RObin doesnt worrk that way! He makes you work for it. Which is what I like, He wont lay out for you (on a platter) parts of the Bible he likes but he'll urge and cajole you to seek & find hidden meaning in the Bible that actually appeals to you.
I' guess knowing him longer than most helps, as I was one of the few unruffled participants to that prayer service last Wednesday.after which we retired to an austere Vegetarian Dinner and conversation on things to come. We discussed, the near uncertain future, then things we've planned and things to be done. Quite long since we (that is Fr. Robin and me) didn't make a trip outside the city so we're planning that among other things.
see you around compadres...
