First and Life Time Experience at Papal's mass

Last Thursday, September 12, 2024, was a truly memorable day for our family.

By God's grace, we had the incredible privilege of attending the Papal Mass. Papa and koko Richie even had the honor of serving during the Mass—papa as a Communion Minister and kook Richie as an Altar Server.

Being just a few meters away from the Pope, especially witnessing him bless the little children and people with disabilities, was an emotional experience for me. I couldn't hold back my tears.

I felt the profound, unconditional love of God and witnessed the essence of what humanity truly needs.

Attending the Papal Mass felt like a glimpse of Heaven, with God on His throne, surrounded by Angels and Saints, while the rest of us worshipped Him. In that moment, there was no judgment based on race or worldly success; we were all equal in God's eyes.

Though we couldn't choose our seats, we embraced our place with deep gratitude.

Much like in Jesus' time, people came for various reasons—to see the Pope up close, some for selfies to share on social media, others to experience God's love more intimately. Only God truly knows each person's heart.

For my family and me, while we did hope to capture a close-up picture with the Pope as a keepsake, the real gift was the love and joy we experienced there.

One key message that we will always remember is:

"Without love, all are nothing."

Maundy Thursday (2021)

We want to create a legacy for our children especially washing feet on Maundy Thursday. Thus during online mass, we take this opportunity to show them what's the meaning of love one another as God's commandment and forgive one another.

Family Praise and Worship and Rosary Prayer

We had this family praise and worship every day where papa will lead the PW with one or two songs and we will sing together. Then papa will read two bible readings, one is from old testament and the other one is from gospel reading.
After that, papa will explain shortly about the reading.

Followed with prayers which starting with papa pray for each of us, then koko Richie will lead the prayer of the brothers to pray for papa and mama and mama will pray for papa too.

Recently, koko Richie has a heart - desire to pray for Rosary and because of time constraint, we usually doesn't have time for rosary but yesterday we made commitment to pray rosary as family.

Hopefully, this will be the legacy to the brothers and descendants to keep family prayer as a powerful weapon in family.

Daily Family Prayer

We have started this family prayer long before Tromson was born and it continue until now.
Eventhough Tromson hasn't been able to sit still all the time but he listens to the bible story and sometimes singing together when papa sing praise and worship song.

Our family prayer starts with praise and worship song, then papa will read the bible and explain the meaning, follow by thanksgiving prayer and intercessory prayer.

We hope that this will be a legacy so when he forms his own family, he will do the same leading the family prayer

Family Weekly praise and worship

We have this family culture every weekend where by we will have praise and worship session as a family. Papa will play guitar and lead the praise and worship and everybody will sing together.
Last Sunday was a bit different, koko Richie also wanted to play guitar and Tromson did clap hand and disturbing papa and koko with his curiosity hahaha...
