I was excited to go to the Children's Mass yesterday. Rye was just an excuse to go. Hehe. I was tired of the usual adult mass which makes me want to sleep sometimes and late na pag Sunday night kaya the 3pm sked was just right. Ayun, Rye slept on the first half and was groggy awake the rest of the hour. But it was fun! May action songs yung Papuri, Santo and Kordero..lahat! And the gospel was explained simply and the priest was acting the part of the bible characters..the kids can participate in the question and answer portion during the sermon..There's also something so spiritual listening to a children's choir. Mas nafeel ko ang presence ni Lord.
Dati ko pang iniisip if I wanted to convert into a baptist Christian. Because there are certain beliefs that I really don't practice like regular confession, novenas and others. But then I love the Mass itself, the good rituals like Baptism, 1st communion and the devotion to Mama Mary. And Andrew Greeley always remind me through his books just how great it is being raised as a Catholic. It's also something that Mama passed on to me which made me who I am now. It's not just a religion. It's a way of life. Although maraming imperfections, I've come to terms with it.
I taught Rye how to do the Sign of the Cross. He wants to say "..and of the Son" only and "Anem". He Calls Jesus as "Jushush".
Anem.
