One Sunday down

August 10, 2008 at 8:19 pm (Christian journey, rambles)

Only today I realised that I go to church not just for God but for the people there as well.
It’s not a bad thing, it’s probably a good thing that I find His creation so loving there. I just never thought it would be me to enjoy serving in the 1030 Mass more than any other Mass just because I know more people at the 1030 Mass.
Anyway, Mass today was exceptionally good. Don’t know why. Points I can put my finger to is Fr’s homily. Can’t remember his name anymore and I’ve always known him to be the priest who gives super short homilies during weekday Masses (not a good thing in my books but I’m just a homily addict).
He started by admonishing the late comers to which I would have stood up and cheered “Go Father!!” if it was not inappropriate to do so. And then he went on to explaining the readings through examples. Lots of examples to prove his point. It was good, I don’t know, it just was.
Then after Mass, I went around to get my weekly dose of hugs. That’s what I like about 1030 Mass.
Somehow, through some sneaky way, the Heavenly Father got Fr M, my mum and I together and we- and when I say “we” I really mean “they”- started talking about me. I love them both so much.
Another thing today got me thinking about was the whole exams thing. The Gospel reading today was about Peter walking on water. (was it Peter?) To those who are familiar with the story, I feel that I’ve started walking on the water by coming to Singapore but now have lost faith and started sinking, by quitting JC. Maybe all I need to do this is a little faith.
