This past Tuesday, before the Youth Formation Programme started, Fr Pat handed me the new altar crucifix to restore. This reminded me of the words Francis of Assisi received from the icon of Christ crucified at San Damiano when it said to him, "Repair my house."

It just flew in from Thailand, that beautiful half porcelain, half wooden piece; but someone accidentally toppled it, puncturing a dent near the right rib wound of Jesus. As if one wound on his side wasn't enough!

All the art stores that I popped into had NO porcelain repair kit. How sad! So I prayed about it and decided that wood putty would just do the trick. Not any ordinary wood putty mind you, but the ones that can be painted on!? (You mean some wood putty cannot be painted on?)

So, it's finally done! Thank you for your guidance, Spirit. :O) If our parish priest is satisfied with it, maybe he'd allow me to paint the ceiling of the church next?
