It's a three-day long weekend. yay!! went to church in the afternoon and spent 2 hours standing and reading and kneeling and standing again. it was the way of the cross, or stations of the cross. 14 stations in total so the stand-kneel-stand thing went on 14 times. then it was the gospel reading according to st john which took all of 38 ppt slides. so we stood for 38 slides. then there were the general intercessions that lasted all of 20 slides which we had to stand and kneel again. so knees got pretty bruised after the ordeal. part of trying to get us to feel the passion and suffering of christ i think. pope, it's definitely working.
for homily father told his story, how he left church to join the anti-vietnam war movement (he's from vietnam), but was passing by a catholic church on a good friday, and he heard them sing "were you there when they crucified Him?" and he returned to church and entered the seminary. that's the gist of it. oh and he mentioned that good fridays are always gloomy and rainy. not so sure about that. will look out for the weather changes on good fridays from now on. heh...
getting baptised tomorrow evening. very exciting. just ironed my dress. still a tad crumpled as it was folded before. sigh... hope no one finds out.
