A Pilgrimage to Mt Singai (Lent)


14 March ~ Myself, kids, hubby, Ma and Mummy, and cousin-in-law join in the Pilgrimage to Mt Singai, Catholic Memorial & Pilgrimage Centre in Bau organised by the FFC of St Peter's Church. We started our journey from home at 8am and stopped along the way for breakfast. We were a little bit late when we reached the foot of the mountain. Anyway, we managed to catch up with the other 300 over parishioners. All the way we recited the rosary and the 14 stations of the Cross.

I was a bit worried about my 2 kids not being able to reach the top and it suddenly struck me where has my faith gone to. So, I prayed, "God give me strength" and I told my kids, "You can do it. God will give you strength". Yes! All of us reached the top. Praise the Lord!

At the end of the 14 stations, we gathered to pray the rosary led by a 10 (I think) year old girl. She was excellent, fluent and confident. Then, Fr Vincent Chin presided a mass for the pilgrimage. Finally, a group photo and lunch at the restaurant of the centre before we walked down the mountain at our own pace.

It was a very good experience for myself and my kids. I hope by participating more in this kind of events, I can help to grow their faith and love in Jesus.
