"GAUDETE" EXPERIENCE

Last Sunday is Gaudete Sunday which means joy.
Honestly I'm not used to be symbolic but last Sunday as we welcome the week I wore a pink pony, same day as the pink candle in the wreath light up.
On that same day I received a gift from a friend of mind a pocket cross wrap in a pink semi-pocket wallet written in a pink paper was this message.


THE CROSS IN MY POCKET


I CARRY A CROSS IN MY POCKET
A SIMPLE REMINDER TO ME
OF THE FACT THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN
NO MATTER WHERE I MAY BE


THIS LITTLE CROSS ISN'T MAGIC
NOR IS IT A GOOD LUCK CHARM
IT ISN'T MEANT TO PROTECT ME
FROM EVERY PHYSICAL HARM


IT'S NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
IT'S SIMPLY AN UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN MY SAVIOR AND ME


WHEN I PUT MY HAND IN MY POCKET
TO BRING OUT A COIN OR A KEY
THIS CROSS IS THERE TO REMIND ME
OF THE PRICE HE HAS PAID FOR ME


IT REMINDS ME TOO, TO BE THANKFUL
FOR MY BLESSINGS DAY BY DAY
AND TO STRIVE TO SERVE HIM BETTER
IN ALL THAT I DO OR SAY


IT'S ALSO A DAILY REMINDER
OF THE PEACE AND COMFORT I SHARE
WITH ALL WHO KNOW MY MASTER
AND GIVE THEMSELVES TO HIS CARE


SO, I CARRY A CROSS IN MY POCKET
REMINDING NO ONE BUT ME
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF MY LIFE
IF ONLY I'LL LET HIM BE.


Its really a happy day, Additional experience on that day was that I met a mother and daughter who has a miracle healing from brain tumor and breast cancer so bless to met them. And as I serve the mass that night I'm simply happy I couldn't explain until tears flow from my eyes. The final experience is the PASKOTITAP. Where beautiful float parade on the street.The Master of ceremony said that as the parade started, the rain suddenly stop its really a fantastic experience. :) :) :)
