Uncle Carl, where u kip Pam?

shey i have bn asking Carl abt pam's whereabout e dey dorge d question, thank God viee don ask you too  

Lindiwe:

it pains me so much that i can't join in the communal devotion in honour of the Holy Spirit and Mother Mary.
sometimes i wish i didn't have to work; i feel i'm chasing after vanities and allowing little room for the more essential things of this life.
but then i remember our Lord Jesus telling us that our work, school, etc. are little alters where we could adore Him and shower Him with the love He so desires from us.
and we are told also that 'to work is to pray'

Lord, i all i ask of thee is the grace to do your will! Sometimes, it could be confusing!

have a great day people

you are very correct!
to work is to pray
imagine the diff it will make if we all understand this much
the type of improvement we will notice
still wish i can get more tym to actually go to Church more

viee:

Lindiwe & Oby,

viee you know at times, i feel like not leaving d presence of God, especially at the blessed sacrament.
Its a thing of joy to know God, not just knowing him, but knowing him deeply.

Weekdays early morning mass is also a problem to me except Sunday's which i know is compulsory for me to rise early to Mass.
But you know this our flesh is the greatest enemy we have, may God help us to have more advantage over our flesh.

viee & oby,
is as if your minds were carefully woven into the fabrics of mine, cos you seem to be saying exactly what's on my mind.
i for one cherish quiet times in front of the blessed sacrament, but when i look back and find out it's been a while i visited Christ alone in the terbanacle, it aches my heart.

I remember how my worries and desires would all dissappear as soon as i sit quietly in the silent church and gaze at Jesus present in the terbanacle, what a marvelous feeling it gave me!

I can't even do that here! God help me!

Oby1:

vieeeee hey! how you go leave St. Mary's start to go so far as St. Leo, you go sey you wan excercise or say more of your Rosary before u reach  

lol!
my dear, na laziness dey worry me. . .
my salon is beside St Leo's so i use one stone to kill 2 birds. . .

I don't think weekday masses have ever been a problem for, well that was in Lagos not here. I always attend evening mass at Falomo on my way home, and if i hppen to work late, i'll leave for mass and return back to the office after mass.

Sometimes, my colleagues and i would even attend the mid-day mass before doing lunch.
The holy spirit opened my heart to the essence of daily masses through a friend back in school then, since then i've never underestimated daily masses

Viee,
i was about saying you've been missing in action on the thread,
did you get my text yesterday? i tried calling to no avail. guess it was our network here.

Don't feel bad, God who searches the hearts of all, knows how you feel.
But you can also have your quiet time when you want to retire to bed, by then it will be very quiet, just take 10-15 minutes, you can get a crucifix, the diamond type, switch off your light and it will shine in the darkness, look on to it, in the silent of the night, it helps you to meditate as if you are in d blessed sacrament.  Try it.  The Lord is our strength.

Evening mass is no problem, but d time of closure from the office.  
Lindiwe hope you have not bn posted finally to Bayelsa, because you sound so.

Oby,
It's my greatest desire to leave Bayelsa for good., if they ever dream of leaving me here, that means i'll just resign, unless God says otherwise.
Anyway, we don't have an office here, so they can't even zhink of zat!

viee i very much agree with you!
I so much cherish attending mass in the east. The choristers are wonderful, the songs - marvellous and worth dying for! I think Catholicism is stronger at home!
I remember the first time i attended mass in FUTO, i learnt the credo (in igbo) that very day, beacuse it was beautifully sang!

I love the way they say the prayer of the faithful, the response is always sang by the choir and not recited.

The priests are wonderful! i mean, every aspect of the eucharistic celebration is so enjoyable! there's never a dull moment!, guys you need to witness it if you haven't. Though in essence and value, it's the same here in Lag but when it comes to styles, it's incomparable!

They don't even use the noisy band they use in some parishes here in Lag. I so much hate it when choir acquire band for use during mass. It robs the songs of their very beauty.
In the east they still use the simple local instrument, and they produce heavenly and solemn sounds!

Viee, infact you're the best for awakening this lovely memory in me.
Beacuse of that, i shall visit Owerri by God's grace this weekend and attend mass at the cathedral. Bishop Obinna is God sent and quite inspiring!

i rem back in sec sch, my friends n i went for Mass

lovely!

Nwada Oby, dnt worry, i will teach for little fee

Hello all

viee, Oby1, and Lindiwe, u guys seem to be having fun here o!

I have a question. Aren't all the churches supposed to do the Novena for the Holy Spirit?
My church does it but I am traveling and I looked up the Parishes where I am going and called them and they said no they're not doing the Novenas, I am so disappointed.

I want to move back to Naija ASAP!!!!

You all are making me miss home so much. I haven't even truly experienced what it's like to worship in Niaja. I know it's going to be different. The Parishes here are very lenient. Some things are done and some things are not done. I like my Parish because we always have a Nigerian Priest and a lot of Africans attend it, though it's still a bit lenient. But this new Priest is setting the place ablaze and I'm loving it. We're weeding out those who are not really of God and challenging everyone to be better christians.
If you go across the street, it's a different story o.

I WANT TO COME BACK HOME!!!!! I AM SOOO HOME SICK!!!!
