PYM Rummage Sale

I'm slowly feeling at home in our parish--Parish of the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Maximising on my minsitries (i mean GOd's), i'm volunteering in multiple activities to spend more time in the church. Well, since i'm a such a sinner (sobra) i really feel safe in the Lord's house, it's as if He lessens my self-condemnation and guilt when I'm under His roof. Still, nakaka-guilty pa rin since HE still accepts me despite all the things I do.

Anyway, i just feel safe in our parish. Really.

Well, earlier, after my sunday assignment as a lector, I went straight to our rummage sale (a fund raising for the PYM). We were able to sell Php 1,700 worth of clothes and bags among others on the first 4 hours since we opened. Then had to pack-up at around 11 am to eat lunch sincee there are no masses from 10-4 pm, translating to no customers. We'll be setting up again later at around 5 pm. Heheheh sana mas marami benta.

What was weird though was that I obviously don't have any experience in selling clothes.
Imagine this: someone bought 5 pieces of clothing. Then after computing for its total, I did a stupid thing. I handed all the clothes to the customer without folding the clothes and without even putting it in a plastic bag. Kahiya talaga. Umangal sya syempre. Hehehehe. Napatingin na lang sakin si Gregor (co-youth ko).

HEHEHE. Anyways got to read at praktis na mamayang 2 ng Koro.

LORD sorry na talaga. Tapos uulit na naman ako. Sori

God's Gift

Did my first assignment as a Lector earlier at the 7:30 am mass. Syempre scary, fortunately I really listened to the monsignor in the 1-and-a-half day seminar last june 16-17 making me understand what this ministry is all about.

Felt queasy at the start of the mass, a bit self-conscious, but knowing that this ministry is all about sharing God's word (in my case leading the faithul in prayer), i felt calm at once.

Only recently did I understand the SERIOUSNESS of the lectors' and Commentators' role in the mass, realize that the lectern actually is the AMBO, which I didn't know was a higly sacred place (Eucharistically speaking), and know the ministry's dos and donts. AT least i did learn about them. Facts of tradition in the church are refreshing to one's faith you know. Now its not just for the sake of attending mass, it's bit by bit understanding how beautiful the Holy Eucharist is. (love talaga tayo ni God)

pics from the seminar: With my teacher in 6th grade, Tchr. Stephen (one w/ the eyeglasses). Weird. Parang kelan lang he was teaching me about catholicism and its ministries, now I'm with him in one of the ministries.

Weird rin kasi iba talaga world ng adults serving the Lord from the Youth. medyo issues and gossip are there but still, i thank God na I am already exposed to different ministries. Masaya naman e!

Learning to adjust means learning more about yourself. do the link :p
