This evening is the last of our Living The Word sessions. I only missed one session because I was sick. Not bad in terms of discipline. Ah…….. but then (abuden), I am always the obedient one because if I do something, I do the best.
Well, I won’t say that it has been a life changing experience for me. Partly because I always have hang-ups with the charismatic group style of worshipping, i.e. those songs that I have never heard and I cannot lift my hands like the regular kakis.
Maureen and Ernie did a very good job. Maureen has always been my favourite-st RCIA facilitator and I always could confide or ask her anything. She is the most approachable of all.
Gee, we enthroned Jesus and worshipped in candlelight. But I dare not ask what does enthrone means. Kehkehkeh…shhhh…..Wait I go Google and read.
Under normal circumstances, I think I would shed a tear or two or maybe break down. It is a healing session, with very soothing prayers conducted by Maureen, good music, worship in tongues (and I can still pray in tongues!) and I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The session lasted two and a half hours. But I didn’t have anything to unload. I guess my confession session with ‘my shrink’ has dealt with that part. So, yes, the sacrament of reconciliation is indeed therapeutic. I don’t carry the hurts that I would normally hide inside me.
So, it was more of an infilling session where I know that from here on, I do not have to be afraid. I have more contentions that whatever I feel prompted to do, I will do it because it is the Holy Spirit guiding me.
Tomorrow, I am going to the hospital for the feast day mass. Actually, I have wanted get someone to visit a couple of patients whom I know are opened to meeting him. They are not Catholics but they are open to prayers. So, help me Lord, let me share the caring and kindness of FF (and the healing and comfort of Jesus) with the patients and may they feel comforted with our concerns.
