I attended the sacrament of reconciliation / confession / forgiveness / penance today. It has a few names, and I think it's my favourite. You just walk out feeling cleansed and at peace; loved by God!

Here is one piece I have which mentions reconciliation - quoting Genesis 33: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2033&version=NIV in which brothers Jacob and Esau meet after a 20 year estrangement and reconcile.

(Apologies for the blurry photo, I should have checked when I took it!)

A very Happy Feast day of Saint Patrick!

As the reverse of the medallion says:

"May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Happy Birthday Saint Mary MacKillop! Born 15 Jan 1842 in Melbourne, she was canonised as Australia's first saint in 2010: https://www.sosj.org.au/founded-to-respond/mary-mackillop/

I have several medallions though one of the more interesting is this uniface one made into a paperweight on a resin base, which lives on my desk.

As we come to the end of the Christmas season, celebrating the birth of Christ, here is a medallion featuring the reason Jesus came to us, from John 3:16. Let's take a couple of verses either side for more context:

John 3:14 "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son."

Happy feast day of St Eligius! Patron Saint of Numismatics!

St. Eligius, with your hands you wrought beauty and with your heart you won friends and through both you glorified God. Befriend us, dear saint, and pray that we will use our God-given talents to serve Him. Amen.

#Australian #Supercars legend Allan Moffat passed away today aged 83. Moffat won four Australian Touring Car Championships, four #Bathurst victories, six Sandown wins, & more than three decades of extraordinary #Motorsport achievement.

#Moffat, famously a #Ford man, had a longstanding rivalry & friendship with legendary #Holden (General Motors) driver, Peter #Brock.

Here is a piece I wrote on the 2018 XC Falcon Cobra 40 Years PMC: https://coinofnote.com/2018-xc-falcon-cobra-40-years-pmc/. I didn't mention Moffat in the piece, he drove several XC falcons. He won Bathurst 1977 in an XC Falcon (pictured). In 1978, he drove the Cobra variant (like in the PMC), securing Pole position with a record time of 2:21.59 and a speed down Conrod strait of 159 mph, although ultimate forced to retire that race with a broken engine.

At the Federation of #Australia in 1901, one of the inducements for western Australia to join was the promoter of a federally funded #railway to link the continent. In 1907 legislation was passed and on 17th October 1917, the Trans-Australian railway was completed. Commonwealth #Railways was formed to run the line.

Here is a #PNC commemorating the centenary in 2017. Featuring a large coloured medallion and a $1 stamp featuring a poster.
