Some time ago I posted on Australia's rapid movement towards a two child policy. The latest budget is just another manifestation of this trend. A two tier scale has been established for one of the family benefits. Families with one child, and families with two (or more) children. No recognition, no money, no help and no approval for anyone who has more than two children.
Newsflash for anti-family politicians: the number one factor influencing voters is still the views of their family of origin.

Prayer at the foot of the Cross
Remember me?
The one who knelt here years ago
And promised you everything?

So many times

Hymns for Holy Week
Reading a post on NCR about Lenten Hymns I remembered a haunting hymn from my Protestant childhood that went like this:
Behold, behold the Lamb of God,
On the cross
For us He shed his precious blood
On the cross
O hear his all important cry
‘Eli Lama Sabathani’
Draw near and see the Saviour die
On the cross
Behold, His arms extended wide
On the cross
Behold his bleeding hands and side
On the cross
The sun withholds it’s rays of light
The heavens are clothed in shades of night
Whil
