Mother..

Evening with Mary was simply enjoyable and great!! It has helped me renewed my love for Mother Mary!.. A few months or a year ago, i questioned her existence in my life.. i mean i do know and believe that she is there and all but i never really felt a need to pray to her and was more attached to her son than her..

Many people have been asking me to pray the rosary and was telling me that the rosary is very powerful but i just didnt like it because i felt it was too darn long and i never had the determination to pray the entire 5 decades.Although i was exposed to praying the rosary when i was at a tender age, i eventually grew bored and tired of it.

At the beginining of this year, my dad told me that i should start going to the weekly novena services since i was going to sit for my major exam this year but i just couldnt find the strength to go for it maybe because reason no.

1) It is kind of boring to attend alone. Yes i know even with an extra person there, it doesnt make a difference since i am not suppose to talk but i prefer going with someone. but haha it does not matter to me anymore cause i find going for novena refreshing and wonderful.

2) i wasnt very attach to her and the idea of going to novena for the sake of just going and not because you really want to go makes me feel unhappy? i dont know. it just seems wrong because you are not going with a willing heart.

3) My weekdays are filled with activities and i would like Saturday to rest and just do nothing besides going for mass later at 4

yup. maybe its because of all these thoughts that went through my head that i am not very keen to attend novena. Then during a period of time( cant remember what), there was lots of dicussion going on about Mary Mary and i decided that i should be soemthig about it but i never had the strength but God sent a person to attend novena with me and since from that day onwards, i started prayign to our Blessed Mother and i believe she in her miraculous way have helped me A LOT! Plenty! Countless! : )

I am just very thankful for Mother Mary in my life and i love her!

yes back to evening with Mary.. it started out with the Rosary followed by the Eucharist. Such a pity i didnt take any photos. The place especially the groto was beautifully decorated. Eurcharistic celebration was Fr Jacob Ong was SOOO GOOD!! it wasnt the funny type neither is it the boring type, It was a reflecting and learning homily. flashback of my childhood just went pass my mind and me imagining Mother Mary carrying Jesus so tenderly

OH the best part was the responsorial palsm sung by a guy from the 945 choir. He sung it so beautifully and filled sincerity.! The lyric of this palsm is also very measningful. Fr Jacob Ong then decided to ask the cantor to sing again but this time round, he asked a mother who was carrying her child, with her child tightly cling to her to walk round the church. And the mother and her child was none other than Stephanie and her son Tristan.

When i saw that and hear the palsm at the same time, i just couldnt control my tears! IT WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND HEART WARMING!!! Flashback of my childhood just went pass my mind and the image of Mother Mary carrying Jesus so tenderly just makes me melt! Really MELT!

After that, the homily was about how powerful prayers is especially the rosary and how Mother Mary will definitely hear us when we cry out to her..

I am just so amazed at how much Mother Mary loved us and how much she is willing to do for us. I should really learn to pray the Rosary more often...

Mpther Mary thank you for all that you have done for me. I was wrong to say that i felt that you were not close to me and you are not important im life.. I am SO wrong! thank you for your constant love even though i doubted in you. You are defintely THE BEST MOTHER ONE CAN EVER GET! A thoughtful, loving, understanding and compassionate mum! Help me duirng this moment and through my Os. Intercede for me.

Like a child rest in its mother's arms
So will I rest in you (X2)
