Sunday Mass

Yesterday, I was attending the mass at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. Before 1715(time), I was meeting my friend, Clarence. He lent me the red shirt which represented the Charismatic Mass and taught me what to do during the mass as I was responsible for carrying the flag which represented the Charismatic Mass. I saw so many flags in the church. I supposed that the church would be crowded. Honestly, I was a bit nervous but I still wanted to do it as I wanted to do my part for the Charismatic Mass. I saw some people whom I could recognise but I did not bother to go to them and greet them. I was just content that I could see them from afar. At 1715, we were having the Rosary Mass. There were five different languages used in the Rosary Mass: English, Chinese, Tagalog, Malayalam and Bahama Indonesian. The strange part was that I could follow the praying and hear very clearly. After the foreign language used to pray the first part, the English was used to pray the last part.

After the Rosary Mass, we were having a short break because it was not time for the Communion Mass which started at 1800 yet. Now, it was really crowded. There were Aunty Lena, Aunty Monica, Aunty, Clarence and me who represented the Charismatic Mass. Also, there was an empty seat among us. Perhaps, we could have more space, I thought. Then some people asked us whether the seat was available. I heard Clarence told them that it was reserved for one person. I was wondering who it was for. Suddenly, the thought of one person flashed in my mind. It was Cherlyn. I was correct in guessing when she finally arrived late. During the Communion Mass, it was usual practise until there was time for representing the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. So I went to the flag where I was supposed to carry. Yes, I was feeling slight nervous. But after a while, I became calm perfectly. Thanks to my little prayer. Some people carried the huge picture of Virgin Mary out of the Church. The flower girls followed them. Then, Altar Servers followed as well. There were other people whom I was not sure to name. I could see almost everyone leaving the church as I was carrying the flag out of the church. As well, when we were outside the church, I saw the sea of people coming out of the church. I guessed that they were following the picture of Virgin Mary. While we were moving in slow motion around the church, I heard the voices among us. We were having the Rosary Mass along the path. So I proudly followed them in praying. I even shouted as loud as I could and held the flag as high as I could. All the way, neither I lowered my voice nor I lowered the flag. They remained loud and high until we reached the hall where we came from. I was really proud and happy to be Catholic Christian. Nowadays, I feel so confidence that I could live the holy life where I can pray faithfully. After the Rosary Mass, we went back to our seats. For me, I remained standing near the flag. After the mass ended by the priest, I went to my group and greeted them. Clarence returned my bag to me. Cherlyn gave me the new red shirt but I rejected it kindly as I disliked the red colour.

Afterwards, we went on the separate ways. I was walking to home. Honestly, on the way, I was feeling happy and proud. I could not help having the wide smile on my face. When I was having the bed, I could sleep peacefully without waking up for the short moment. Finally, I can sleep peacefully for eight hours or more after having the trouble of sleeping for one month.

Today, I'm having the appointment with my new friends. I'm going to the Paya Lebar Post Office this evening. I hope that I will be successful in being the Market Executive afterwards. Well, I don't know how to explain what it is to do with my new friends as many of you don't know what it is to be market executive.

Importantly, I would like to thank God for lifting me up in spirit. Praise the Lord! Forever and ever! Amen!

That's all for today.

Cheers!~ (^_^)
Mood: Very happy
