Dear All
Holy Trinity Church celebrated its feastday on 18 May 08, which happens to be my dad's 92nd birthday as well.
His sermon on the Holy Trinity was that we cannot fully fanthom the mystery of the Holy Trinity. However, we can try to live the Holy Trinity. He offered us a simple 3 min prayer to the Holy Trinity.
- 1st min : Think of 1 thing we are grateful for in today's event and offer it to God the Father. For e.g, praying with Felicia tonight (20 May 08- Tues). My thanks - that the repair to our car radio was minor and that we got home safely by car. Felicia thanks - that today's arrangement of new seating arrangement lets her sit with her 2nd best friend - Berjette.
- 2nd min : Think of 1 thing "bad" that happened today and offer it to the 2nd person in the Holy Trinity, Jesus. For me - that Felicia's classmate, Bianca's mum, Felita, is not angry with me, as I had given her daughter a lift home today and never thought of contacting her to let her know I was fetching Bianca home and worse still, oversight on our part not to insist that we accompany Bianca up the lift. (Since she was going back to her grandparents' home, we thought we should contact her grandparents. But Bianca didn't know her grandparents' number. We offered to accompany her up the lift, but she declined. Felita said she was not angry with me, but I have a feeling that she was angry with me at least at that moment).
For Felicia - that Bianca keeps on sticking to her, and that makes her other friends refuse to play with her because of Bianca.
- 3rd min: Offer what we wish for to the Holy Spirit. For me, that my fingers on both my hands are tingling with slight numbness tonight. (Could be due to high cholestrol food I've been feasting on since church feastday and dad's birthday till we 3 girls came down with diarrhoea on 18 to 19 May ... that's why we couldn't make it for the ME Anniversary Mass on 19 May :( for my numbness to be better tomorrow.
For Felicia : For her friends and Bianca to get along and like each other better, and for Felicia's head pain and tummy pain to reduce in intensity.
Just to share Fr Johnson Fernandez sermon and how Felicia and I try to put it to practise. Here is a family shot after the feast day mass having our lunch. It was indeed a hot Sunday afternoon and here I look so tired...
