First sharing
Ok, hi people. My first post here on the LOG BLOG. That day I shared something at Kristin's house but not everyone was there. Ok, so it was at this mass at St Anne's, i was very sleepy because it was 730am mass and I had to leave house at 630 to reach there. So I usually sit at the end of pew. So I could not stop myself from nodding my head in sleepiness. Then suddenly I heard Father Ambrose talking about people sitting at the end of the pew, sleeping and folding arms. Then I realised I was doing just as what he said, as well as several people around me. So everyone sat up and listened. Then he moved on to talk about some mistakes that most people commit during masses. Genuflecting when entering the church is to pay respect to God because this is his temple, as well as when leaving the church. Most people do not do that, but they bow when the priest bows at the front of the altar. But thats because the priest just entered the church and also needed to bow to pay respect to God. So ya, dun be extra haha. Then this one I mentioned, the part about giving each other a sign of peace. It is meant to signify reconciliation with the people around you and as well as forgiving your peers for anything they have done wrong so that you are ready to receive the Holy Communion. Then he said its not a time to show love and affection coz couples kiss and hug and blah. Haha, but its ok to just hug people around with that thought in mind.
Woots, ok end of my sharing. And also an interesting you want to know, I got damn scared of meeting Father Ambrose after that. Haha.
