O Jesus, Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with all the Masses said throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our associates, for those who will die this day, for the holy souls in purgatory, and in particular, for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.

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.

Grandma Lucy's 1st Anniversary

10 March 2009 ~ A year has gone but in our hearts, Grandma is still very close to us. In memory of her, we had a prayer gathering at home among family members as well as friends and relatives. My husband, kids and I went to light candles at her tomb on Monday morning. Bryan prayed the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be out loud for Poh Thai. I am very sure she's watching and smiling from heaven.

Eternal rest, grant unto our Popoh / Poh Thai, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
