HRC celebrated Children's liturgy this morning. A band of fresh and innocent youngsters- walked dainty up to the altar with the offerings -angelic and delightful! Dying as this writer was to capture their innocence and pure beauty. on film.....respect for the Eucharistic celebrations and the Parish Priest calls for restrain... A pity, a real pity indeed -for a lost of great photo shoot!
For YT, it was a remarkable morning at HRC , pure praise and worship became amazingly meaningful, because hymns were sung along the music she was used to and loved. When she heard the strains of familiar music again, it was as though, she had found something precious which she had earlier lost . She sang her heart out, because the words flowed along so beautifully with the music.....and really something arose within her -reaching out to her God. Strangely, one of the items in the prayers, touched on her troubled innermost chamber -as though the whole congregation was praying for her and this morning, it seemed God sends her a message of comfort......
It was a caring shepherd at work this morning - there were significant pauses, giving opportunities for private prayers. I do not know whether you would agree with YT but when you are in spiritual need, those pauses somehow translate into healing opportunities...when you call out in prayers and the listening God responds..Father Joachim said -Grace is being blessed with the ability to recognise the Lord Jesus in the Eucharistic celebrations , seeing Him in our midst, and living in his image in our everyday lives. He prays that Christians would be willing - living witnesses to our Lord Jesus in our modern day lives-faithful witnesses who never sleeps but are diligently ready for the Master's imminent return.. Great food for the soul and let us pray we have the grace of that capability!!
