A favour to ask,
it only takes a minute....
Please tell ten friends to tell
ten today! The Breast Cancer site
is having trouble getting enough
people to click on their site daily
to meet their quota of donating
at least one free mammogram a day
to an underprivileged woman. It
takes less than a minute to go to
their site and click on 'donating
a mammogram' for free (pink window
in the middle). This doesn't
cost you a thing. Their corporate
sponsors/advertisers use the number
of daily visits to donate mammogram
in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along
to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

The
Deep End – In The Dark
Fr Tom Cahill SVD
When it comes to energy and matter
we’re in the dark. Satellite
images of left over energy from
the Big Bang show things as they
were 400,000 years after the Bang.
To put that into perspective: it
means seeing something as it was
13 billion years ago. Analysing
their findings, scientists have
discovered that only 4.6 percent
of the total universe is made of
stuff we can see. The rest, in the
form of dark matter and dark energy,
is invisible and mystifying. Dark
matter holds our galaxies together;
dark energy drives them apart. Their
interaction means that while there
won’t be more matter in the
universe there will be more space
– lots more. So much more
that neighbouring galaxies will
disappear into the void. We’ll
find ourselves even more cosmically
isolated than we already are. Something
to look forward to!
Better to look
forward to what God’s word
promises. God’s image in today’s
First Reading [Isa 6:1-8] shows
him as majestic and transcendent.
Yet God cares for his people. He
sends Isaiah on a mission to them.
This mighty God, for whom our Big
Bang was neither big or a bang,
cares for his creation. A cold and
lonely universe is not part of his
plan for us.
Couldn’t be since he sends
his son to us later. As the seraphs
cover their faces before the majesty
of God in the First Reading so too
does Peter as he falls before Jesus’
knees in awe in the Gospel reading
[Luke 5:1- 11].
Take your pick:
dark matter, dark future, glorious
God, glorious future.
