} dads day

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.

For it is in giving that we receive;
In pardoning that we are pardoned;
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.

amen.

just watched the last samurai today. damn nice show. *thumbs up* katsumoto is a great hero. :))

today's mass wasnt so bad. although the sermon was very long. but i managed to pay attention to *most* of it. :D too bad i cant remember what he said though. :| there was another solo performance today on one of the hymns, but unexpectedly the singer wasnt bad. he was actually pretty good. the only problem i have with him is that he pronounces 'give' as 'geeve', 'rich' as 'reech' and 'because' as 'becas'.

today is fathers day, and also the priest's 6th ordination anniversary. so.. a lot of emotional things going on. when he 'took the opporunity to thank a few people' he was choking on his words, i think because he wanted to cry. there was also one part where the fathers were asked to come forward to receive blessing... which is one of those moments that make you go 'aww'.

well....anyway.. happy dad's day to all the dads... especially to mine. :)
