Who Knew?

Who knew that once school really got into the swing here at Cor Jesu College that my Saturday would be really busy. Today was the first Saturday I was able to make it to the Benedictine monastery for Mass. It was really nice and I am looking forward to going back there again soon. After that I washed clothes, which took me almost 2 hours, but I had to hurry since the novena was this morning. I am in charge of making sure the candles are lit and such around the altar where the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue is located, so I had to be there before the novena to make sure the candles were good to go. It is so nice to be at school where things such as a novena or the Angelus mean so much. They do play the Angelus at noon and 6 p.m. everyday.

I was at the education technology building attending an orientation for student assistants. These are the students that work in the school. Now anytime I attend some kind of function, I am always acknowledged. Well the guy that acknowledged me is a little bit on the feminine side. I was sitting in the back on the table when this guy asked me if I was comfortable from the microphone, so the entire hall can hear it. Then he said if you aren't I can be your comforter. The entire room lit up in laughter and I just put my hands to my face and shook my head no, thinking to myself " I can't believe he said that." I didn't let it bother me.

I also attended the meeting of the Hummingbirds Liturgical Club as they planned out different things for the year. It was a long meeting but I think they got everything accomplished that they needed. Miguel, who works in campus ministry, addressed the group before the meeting saying how much of an inspiration they are. Migs had me follow up and I agreed with him, which is only appropriate since last night the first part of my blog was a dedication to them. Some greatly appreciated that gesture and one girl almost was in tears. They truly are an inspiration and I am glad I get to work with them.

Went to Mass this evening, finally met the white Irish priest who celebrates Mass. Seems like a nice guy. Then went to Rizal Park where the fountain was lit up very pretty. Well tomorrow might be another busy day.
