This has been our experience of Pentecost 2012 at Balay sa Nazaret.
All the leaders of the Holy Childhood Association in San Carlos Borromeo Parish were invited to celebrate Pentecost starting with a Vigil. 31 of us arrived on time, excited to meet each other and to restart our mission.
Together we prepared the Vigil; together we printed the T-shirts.
We spent time together sharing our feelings,
plans and worries. We prayed with the
Bible, with symbols and with songs.
Pentecost
has become our special feast as Holy Childhood Missionaries upon discovering that
Pentecost is the beginning of the Mission of the Church, the beginning of our
challenge as followers of Jesus. That
was why we started the day of Pentecost early in the morning planning our
activities. And we have so many reasons
to prepare our mission with enthusiasm this year because it is the Year of
Mission in the Philippines, as well as the year of the Silver Jubilee of our
Diocese of San Carlos!
Prayer:
We are here Lord. We want to collaborate with you in your plan of salvation, your plan of love for our little ones in the different chapels. Thank you, Lord, for counting on us. Amen.
