Catholic Countdown
Hello people. Here I am again to share. Today's thanksgiving mass was really nice. Jes, anne, daniel and bt were there with me. A very solemn mass. Father Ho asked us whether we were ready to countdown to next year and only the second time he asked, did everyone say "yes" together. Well, i thought next year isn't something very great. Maybe at the stroke of 12 it would be judgement day. Ok, he then said he would teach us the catholic countdown. Which he explained during sermon, the counting of our blessings in the past year we have received from God and thank him for it. When I heard it, I really did not bother to count because I know everyday of this year, God has been with me. So I just closed my eyes and said thanks. This time I didn't tear but I saw daniel and BT bending forward with folded arms. We should always remember to thank the Lord for everything we receive in our daily lives because waking up in the morning is also a miracle! I was actually very tired and was on the verge of not going to thanksgiving mass, but then I thought, I think I really need to go and solemnly thank the Lord for what he has done for me. :D
Talking about this, at the chalet I went, there was this session that we had to plan a 15 min mock session in half an hour. So my group and I decided that we do prayer. I was tasked to do the majority of the talking -.-" Well, ok I was really quite jittery about sitting in front of 20 people and trying to teach them about prayer. When my group ended the discussion, we had a prayer together then we went out. We were the last group to present so I went forward after 2 groups presented and sat down in front of them. Then I said, I'm not going to ask who does not pray everyday because it is something we should be doing already. Then I moved on to explain what prayer is then had a skit to emphasize the correct way of praying. The skit went like this, I shall use A and B to represent ppl. first scene was A calling B and asking B for help, however, A does not allow B to reply at all but just wants B to listen only. Second scene was B calling A, but A does not seem interested to listen to his advice. Third scene is B and A talking and chatting heartily on the phone. Fourth scene is A pondering and hesitating whether to call B or not and finally decides not to, and throws the phone away. Each scene represents a scenario that I leave it to yall to decifer, should be easy la. So I got the people to reflect on this and I continued with my talk about prayer techniques, types of prayer, importance of prayer. Heh, too much to type here already, just a piece of this to let u reflect on. Thats all from me!
