The 1st Holy Communion

wohoo... Patrick 1st holy communion was done 1 month plus ago.. but I still want to share it here... let start with the after the confession... Patrick was asked to come to church for rehearsal 2 days before the actual day...  On the rehearsal day, there  was  full mass rehearsal.. from the procession, 1st reading, 2nd reading, and even gospel reading, collection and the offering.. which Patrick was one of the bearer.. he was doing the wine and water.. which me and his father so worried of.. ( cox b4 the teacher asked him to do the offertory only.. simple and easy ).. the father said that we do not want it happened... huhuhuhu... on the rehearsal so many incident happen... they have to do it twice all over again... On the actual day, the Mass was children Mass ,so all the things mentioned was done by the children...

On 14 November, we were asked to bring our kid to the chapel b4 6.15am.. me and Paul was asked to help to buy curry puff for the fellowship after the mass.. woke up at 5 am, wearing his white trouser white long sleeve... we go to Pasar Besar KK to pick the ordered curry puff and arrive church exactly 6.15am... at the chapel the boys was asked to wear red bow tie and Corsage, the girls to wear the veil and Corsage.. I saw others was helping their children... and my Patrick... eh... hilang...and heard somebody calling his name hoe ping! hoe ping!  and saw him was helped by his Sunday school teacher, the teacher is so patient with Patrick through the year in her class, and so fond of him... ei.. I do nothing ni, jealous jua la.. hee hee :P:P... then we take picture in front of the chapel and all the Parent were asked to go inside the church... Every Sunday, we used to sit at the left side of the church entrance, but this time we were asked to sit at the right side... cox the Boys is sitting at the right side and the girl at the left side... and all the family member asked to seat behind them... me and Paul was not used to the seat... macam org yg biasa pakai tangan kanan then kena suruh pakai tangan kiri ni.... hee hee... The Mass begin... everything going well... then the time of offering.. m still worried cox this time Patrick is bearing the real thing wine and water ( me n his father keep asked him to practice at home... using glasses... haa haa... takut pecah bah.. adui.... )... but he doing it steady and safe... fuh!.. ni mama betul2 x confident with his son Ooooo... then, is the receiving bread and wine time ( they asked to taste the bread and wine on the sunday class, cox last year, one of the kid nearly spit out the body of Christ cox not used to the taste of wine.. ).. we busy taking picture although we asked not to cox the church have their own cameraman/ woman... and Patrick turn.. he return to his place and pray... me and his father tahan2 lah air mata... finally our son receiving his 1st holy communion..( if you read my previous post , Patrick used to asked me what is the taste of the bread... and I asked him to wait until his turn... and here we are... ).. after the Mass end... all the children taking group picture with the Coadjutor Archbishop in front the altar.. then went to the Parish Hall for the Certificate giving and fellowship... all the 62 children was treated with KFC, and the parent was eating cake, sandwiches, curry puff... etc... all this was sponsored by the parents as well...

Patrick oso pandai jeling2 ni... hee hee.. Then Bishop John Wong and Fr Sunny Chung arrived...They heard the prayer of repentance by the Children before they entering the Confession room, so the children no need to do it again while in the room.. the children has been asked to sit as mcm p tingu doktor ni... ( Doctor of SOUL ) according to their queue number... Patrick was no 4/62 credit to come early... he has saying that he want to confess to the Bishop but wish not granted hee hee... he confesses to Rev Fr Sunny.. then later I told him, you seldom have Fr Sunny at SHC, you always have Bishop on Sunday... he said yeah, is OK... 
while Patrick on the confession room me and his father waiting outside... we afraid that he will scared... but by the look of the way he entered the room he is so eager ... x rasa takut ni... than he come out.. go to the front facing the altar and do his penance... we saw him read it loud... and his best Sunday school friend Samuel Lo looked at him quietly.. me and husband said the room is so miracle.. a monkey going in and a Rabbit coming out... as I said before, they were so excited and making noise... but after entering the room, everybody coming out so seriously, silently... when we saw Our son doing his Penance.. huhuhu.. there is tears in our eyes... 
at home I asked him what is the feeling after the confession? he said mommy I felt fresh ( sa pun x tau pa la maksud dia tu... fresh between him and LORD i think ).. this morning, when he wake up... he said yeah, I cannot wait for the communion Ooh... then he kneel saying good morning Jesus... today, he woke up by himself, take bath lagi Tu... I just want to say my son act different today... I saw a grin from his father... hee hee... i don want to hope it will continuously doing so... I just want to BELIEVE he is changing... Amen!
