Just got home from a splendid Saturday. It was the 9th novena, the last one, n the merriest. Imago Dei was excellent in organizing this event. It’
Arrived there in the morning and ran some errands. Had a mass in the afternoon for the team. Pastor Deshi gave an interesting sermon about the last days. Some of the things that he said were that everything has an end. We shouldn’t be too consumed with how or when is the end, instead he said it’s important for us to be faithful till the end. Reminded me of a verse in St. Peter’s letter (if I’m not mistaken) that we shall receive a reward for our faithfulness which is the crown of life. And he said something that was really good. He quoted from Mother Theresa, who said: “A saint is someone who does an ordinary thing with extraordinary love”. It’s a very beautiful saying. No matter how small our contributions look, what matters the most is our intention (our sincerity, our love) in making those contribution.
After the mass didn’t have much to do, just waiting for the vandals to arrive. And at around 4-5 PM it was getting crowded. The dancers, singers, and the other member committees arrived and prepared for the last Novena.
At 6 PM the novena started. It was excellent…amazing. The opening song was The New Spring Time… and we sang One Way Jesus. I was overwhelmed by emotions I couldn’t describe. Then Pastor Deshi gave another great speech. In short…the Novena was marvelous.
After the novena, unexpectedly I met Angel. Well actually she called me. It’s been a few months since the last time I saw her. We talked a bit and at the parking lot I met Rhea. It’s also been a while since the last time I saw her. Chatted a bit then I went back inside the stadium.
Then I talked to the coordinator that I wanted to go home coz I don’t bring suitable clothed for tomorrow mass. Plus I prefer to sleep on my lovely bed. Well..the new spring time has arrived….I need to get some sleep…lots of things need to be done but at the moment I’m engaged in two very interesting chats… well… that’s all for now I guess… hopefully after the last novena, the catholic youth revival really happens.
The New Spring Time
Let us come people of God
Celebrate His love and His faithfulness
With joyful heart sing unto Him for the new hope has come
Let us arise people of God
His light has come and shine upon you
The water is turned into wine, new revival has come
Lift up your heart giving thanks to Him
Praising and dancing shout to the King
His people is free, His people rejoice
A brand new day has come
For this is the year we celebrate His grace
Let us rejoice and be glad
The new spring time of the Lord has come
For in this land, His church arises
To proclaim Jesus the king
