First Friday

I was early for First Friday mass so I was able to go to Confession. Feels good to be granted forgiveness, attend mass and receive Holy Communion.

The homily was about the three elements of prayer: prayer of faith, expectant prayer, and prayer of charity. I should be reminded of this whenever I pray for something such as the successful conduct of my FGD.

I am also praying the 24 Glory Be Novena to St. Therese of the Child Jesus. It starts with a short prayer. Then 24 Glory Be's with "St. Therese of the Child Jesus, Pray for Us" in between.

Another UAI (usage, attitude and image) study came in. I have to formulate the questionnaire but it seems difficult. Requires a lot of thinking. Another challenge.

---------
On March 18, there will be a joint celebration among Maryknollers who turned 50 (or will turn 50). No dinner fees required. Hope I can make it.

---------
Tomorrow, I will be watching my niece dance ballet. It's good to get out of the condo to be entertained.

Forgiveness

Today, I attended first friday mass. I feel so blessed that our condo offers first friday mass! Moreover, I was able to go to Confession. Thank God!

I re-watched "Facing the Giants" and still kept crying. Some movies are really so touching, you can't help but cry.

I am re-reading "The Purpose-Driven Life" by Rick Warren but as he suggested, I am reading it one chapter per day.
