Patrick is done with his 1st confession last night ( 11/11/2010 )... relief for us and him too..
We arrived church early last night, there are only 1 of Patrick's friend was there... Patrick as usual wondering around the Church... m afraid he will sweating.. so i asked him to follow me to the car.. on De way, another friend of him arrived too... then, they went to the chapel together.. we went in too... and his other classmate arrived after another.. after roll call and take their queue number, they has been asked to sit together without parent companion , although some parent still accompanying their children.. ( cox nervous bah... ).. Patrick seem like x payah la.. m not afraid he said.. hee hee... nervous memang ada jua la tu... when all the 62 of them gather together... fuh, riuhnya.. macam d pasar... the head balik2 lagi suruh diam... sini sana Shh Shh Shh... hee including me... The Penance was begin with a Prayer, a Gospel reading... and a short bible story telling referring to the mural on the chapel wall... they has been asked to kneel down, and the teacher read out the "sin" .. such as ' am I lazy? am I not praying? am I disobedient ? etc... hee hee.. me and Paul bersiku2 lagi when heard yg memang pandai sorang terbuat... hee hee... 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!
