Calm Before The Storm

Friday morning, right after the Holy Mass in Our Lady of Perpetual Help chapel in the shrine. A quiet breakfast and a growing feeling of incoming storm. The calmness of the morning may be quite deceiving... In a couple of hours a 'hell' will break loose and everybody will be up to elbows deep in preparatory works, cleaning, decorating, cooking, meetings, last minute planning for the Sunday Silver Jubilee of religious vows of Sr. Mary Chongo, the superior of sisters' community in our parish. We expect some two hundred guests participating. This is a serious celebration and I gather mental strength to cope with it calmly, efficiently and professionally. Of course, the Lord is the Master of the Ceremony and we pray for His blessings so that we may do whatever we can to make this day a great success. Prayers as always very much appreciated!

  1. Good luck with the Jubilee celebrations-seems a mighty event and 200 guests is a big gathering.Everything will be fine and there will be lots of singing and rejoicing, I imagine. Just checking comment is working. I did enjoy your experimentation with the blog design - it was good seeing it all like a calender. Just a short note in case I can't send it. Blessings on you .Love Lena
