I've had a busy weekend!
Yesterday I went for Dr Slatter's wedding at St Mary's. It was such a beautiful wedding in such a beautiful church! I love St Mary's! I think it is so beautiful that, instead of Jesus hanging on the cross like in normal churches they have an outline of a cross on the wall, and Jesus suspended in front of the cross. So it looks like He is on the cross, but yet He is flying in the air.
The priest gave a very nice homily on the significance of having your marriage blessed by God, in a wedding ceremony. This is because, he said, it is so difficult to love each other in the way described in
1 Corinthians 13 that we really need God to bless the marriage so that it was be so much easier on our parts to make it a lasting and happy one centered in Christ.
It is so cute when 2 teachers marry each other! So many teachers and students came for the wedding and teachers were ushers and in the choir too!
Aiyah it was a really beautiful wedding. I like weddings (:
Then after the St Francis Xavier feastday mass and dinner I went to the guides house to report to help out at the Standard Chartered Marathon. Cornerstone was really nice and walked me all the way to a faraway bus stop!
Ah I think I am too sleepy to blog about the marathon now. I shall blog tmr maybe. Goodnight everyone!
Dear Lord, I pray for all the sick, that in their suffering they wil remember Jesus' own suffering on the cross and let it be a reminder of His great sacrifice. Also, may they never lose their faith and trust in You and instead, offer up all this pain to You. Most of all, if it is Your will, please relieve them of their suffering.
Dear Lord, I pray that You will give me strength in the knowledge that as long as I am doing the right thing everything will turn out good in the end. I pray that I will never hanker after earthly things, that You will take away all my earthly desires, and instead help me focus on building eternal relationships. Let me have comfort in the knowledge that You have a grand plan for me, and that You are committed to seeing it to fruition in me.
AMEN!
