Prayer of the Rosary

Just now we had a Rosary Prayer together in my University. Finally, we could pray the Rosary together! I am so glad!
I've been wanting to do it with everyone else, but there was always something came up and thus, I prayed it by myself, and there are times when I didn't pray on Rosary.. my bad.

Anyways, although there were just 5 of us, it was still great. We had our French friend joining us. However, due to language barrier, she shared with us that she wasn't concentrating because (I guess) it is her first time to say the Rosary Prayer in English. Therefore, she couldn't really feel it (the prayer). But I still hope that she still could feel the spirit of togetherness, when we prayed together just now. =D
- I believe that God will make a way for us to be able to share the good news with everyone else from different languages - Somehow.

Like one of my friends, she's Catholic but she has only been to the Church here few times throughout her stay in Taiwan. She is not Taiwanese. She shared to me that she has language barrier whenever she attends the mass here, that is why she doesn't go to mass nowadays. And it's not easy for me to give her some advices, although some may work.. because I do have the same problem with her, in the case that the mass is held in Chinese. :P But I am trying to get myself used to it. Slowly but surely. =D

Let's pray for our friends out there who are longing to seek Him and yet, may not realize about His presence with them.. And even for ourselves, who sometimes tend to drag ourselves away from Him.. Amen.

God bless!

Variety Show

Tomorrow is D-Day!
My friends and I will be performing our skit ("My Everything"). There are 7 of us, plus another friend who helps us with the Power Point. Thanks Ester! =)

Practice went well today. In fact, it's been a wonderful time spent with them throughout all the practices. I am amazed how some of them who in the beginning were not showing so much interest in this, but now, they're so excited about it! Praise God!

ANd not only this skit that some of us are having tomorrow, but we're also joining the Choir team! We're going to sing Praise and Worship songs: Through it all, Above all, and My Redeemer lives. If you wonder how is it like, just click on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDU8NyJaaPA&feature=channel

Please keep us in your prayer yah! All this we do to glorify Him, and as for the skit, we really hope to reach out others. We hope the message will easily be understood.

For me, I've learned so much throughout this all.. the planning, gathering people, practices, preparations, and so much more..

God bless,

Go and tell the world

"It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.."
(Acts 4:20)

Now Peter and John couldn’t even contain themselves. They just had to speak, as if they would burst if they didn’t. They had to share the message that had so transformed their lives. Not only had they walked with Jesus, the Holy Spirit had come to live in their hearts. And not only that, they knew this gift was meant not just for them but for everyone.

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature”
(Mark 16:15)

God is ready to fill us with his Spirit and give us the zeal to share his life with others. He wants to give us the boldness to tell people about our hope in Jesus. He wants to help us share the gift of his salvation with our families, co-workers, neighbors, and even complete strangers. Let’s remember that Jesus, alive in our hearts, is overflowing with love for each person we meet..

"...And how could they know if they have not heard.
And how could they hear unless someone told them."
(Romans 10:14)

Easter Celebration

Overall, the event went well.
Though it was light raining and thus, we all - the forty of us - had to stay in the room (which made it quite crowded), everything was going alright. Praise God! Although some came without registration before, which at first made us quite surprised, because we didn't prepare so much. But in the end, still, everything was enough! PTL!

Started with singing songs and followed by a short talk by Fr. Luigi [from Italy]. Thanks to Huang Lao shi too for translating it into Chinese, for the Chinese speaking students.
Also, to Fr. Pras who led us in prayer before the lunch.

The lunch box that we ordered was just enough. Exactly enough! Praise God! We ordered 42 lunch boxes by the way. hehe.
Thanks also goes to Fr. Paskal and Damas(c)us. Fr. Paskal for coming and bringing the tart cake made by Damas(c)us. We saved money, yeay!

Next was the game session. It didn't turn up as how it was expected to be (one is because of the rain) but it still was going well. Thanks to Alix and BK for the ideas and leading the session. =) [I am really happy to see them excited when preparing the game:P]

After the game, it was singing songs again. This time we sang "With Christ in the Vessel". It was so enjoyable and funny! One was because there was action for the song and another was because there were parts of the song that were not to be sung, but the guys and the girls had to replace it with another words, like.. Guys: "huu.." ; Girls: "hey.." It was really funny! Thanks to Adalene for leading the song. =) The people were also supportive ^^,. They weren't so shy as how Asian usually are =P

The money collected today is not bad, too. By God's grace, although we still need to cover some costs, but it is not as much as what we may have imagined before. [He will make away, when there seems to be no way..].

Besides, we were also 'celebrating' those whose birthdays are in March and April. There is quite a number of them. =)

Not to forget, a BIG thank goes to Sr. Valentine for willingly lent us the Sister's place and helping us from planning, preparing til the event itself.

I hope the message of this Easter could reach everyone of them and they will open their hearts to Christ.

God bless,
