Readings
FIRST READING: Phillip Kaczorowski (Magda's brother)
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.
Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?
And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
SECOND READING: William Griffiths (Tom's youngest brother)
An excerpt from Thief Of Time by Terry Pratchett
The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew.
There is in truth no past, only a memory of the past.
Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them.
Therefore, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise.
The only appropriate state of the heart is joy.
The sky you see now, you have never seen before.
The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.
TEDDY'S BAPTISM
It's been a massive year and our original plan was to combine the Christening and Wedding into one day. At the time, we were optimistic and in the end we couldn't align all the logistics to celebrate both. So, we went ahead with the original save-the-date day and held an intimate Christening for Teddy on Sept 29.
Edward Franciszek Griffiths was Christened at St Peters Parish in Surry Hills in the same gown as his father, grandfather and great grandmother. Meredith Griffiths and Phillip Kaczorowski are his God Parents.
