Lazy Sunday

Even though Sunday's are typically the only day I can actually sleep in, I do not take that advantage. Why you might ask? I like to attend the Mass at the Benedictine Monastery here in Digos and it is also the time I can actually see and chat with Br. Thomas. He is one of the younger monks there and we have been keeping in contact with each other through facebook. What I also really like about attending Mass there is that I know the music is going to be good. To me nothing says a good liturgy then good liturgical music. Also in development, one of the monks has already asked his prior if I could possibly stay the one night at the monastery, which I don't think is going to be a problem. Now I just have to find the time in the next three weeks.

I came back by the house to relax, nothing was really planned for the rest of the day. I watched a movie and then went to Mass again for the second time today. First time was because I like Mass at the monastery, second time was because it was the First Communion of the grade 3 pupils here at Cor Jesu College, which was held at the Cathedral. It was really nice and I am glad that they went over all the music with the students because they were singing loud and proud. It was also nice to be able to witness them receiving Jesus in the body and blood of Christ. Let's just say, they had a lot of cute faces after they had consumed it. Plus our cooks son was making his First Communion, so I went to cheer him on. He is a cool little guy who hangs out at the house sometimes.

Other than attending Mass, I went to a few of the stores here in Digos to try to find some shaving cream, but no luck. I guess Filipinos don't grow facial hair fast enough that they would need to buy shaving cream. Speaking of hair, one thing that I kind of makes me sick is seeing moles that have hair growing out of them, but here they are everywhere. One of the guys that brought up the gifts during the offertory had one bad and I was thinking to myself "why don't you cut the hair?" Plus it is really creepy.

So busy week this week, will be gone Tuesday through Thursday on the semi-annual retreat with the Brothers, it should be fun.
