Father Angel, our usual priest for Divine Mercy mass at CTK Parish, wasn't in town so Father Johnson came to concelebrate it. He was more jovial and less serious than when he was still parish priest. He gave an outstanding homily and ended it off with a prayer for more faith in God. The homily really 'spoke' to the problems plaguing me within. He also told us some anecdotes close to the end of mass. I enjoyed that particular mass.
However, he also evoked a sense of nostalgia in me, as he was parish priest when I was serving in CTK. His presence brought me back to that memorable period. I met this couple whom I was with in Christus Dominus choir as well. We caught up with each other.
A few weeks ago, I met some of my ex-choirmates after their practice. It was good to see them again. They are still the people I knew though we've moved on in our individual lives. I'm back with my own church now, with a renewed sense of feeling for my former choir.
The 9 months I spent serving in CTK nevertheless have a special place in my heart and I still go back there for mass and sessions. I enjoy being with the people and cherish the friends I've made there.
Oh, the adoration room there is just superb. It has a curtain enclosing the Blessed Sacrament so that it feels that you're in 'the holiest of holy place'.
Thank you to all of you from CTK! You've made my time there regular even after I'm back with my own church!
