Day 107 of OBO... Masses

I have never been to so many masses prior to today... I literally attended ALL the masses this weekend... Well, that's 'cause I was asked to do a sharing during the mass... And in the evening, I had a birthday party to attend... It was Maria's, Nino's sister and my room mate on the mission trip, birthday...

I woke up at around 0615hrs to get ready for 0700hrs mass at church... I left my place at around 0645hrs and reached church at 0655hrs... It feels good to start off the day with mass... It makes me feel 'full'... Anyway, I was sharing at mass again... After mass, I had breakfast with Fr Simon at Macs... After breakfast, we went back to church to prepare for the next 2 masses...

After all the masses, I met Nino, again, for lunch and also to start writing the Catholic News article... We managed to get something done that day... So that's not too bad... At around 1715hrs, I headed back to church for the final sharing for the weekend... This time round, I did not stay for the entire mass... After I shared, I left for Maria's party...

It was a really fun party... The 'crazy' group from the mission was there... We were just re-living all the moments on the mission... And the jokes from there were still going on... The food was good... And there was lots of singing... Her mum has a really good voice... Very soothing! We 'jammed' till about 2345hrs before heading on home... Nino gave Nat and I a ride home... He first sent Nat to her friend's place at Bukit Timah, then he dropped me home before heading back to the seminary...

This weekend, although exhausting, has been a very fulfilling weekend... I realised that it only takes a small action to touch the lives of many... This weekend alone, I had quite a few people coming up to me, telling me that I did a good sharing and that they were touched... I felt good... Not because of personal glory but rather because I had the opportunity to reach out to these people, being able to make a teeny-weeny difference in their lives...
